My question is, with the added height, how close will it be to fitting TBSS's and trucks?

hopefully more news pops up quick cuz sounds like the best deal out there if it really is 300-400 but even if it were 600 it would be worth it.

im looking into the weiand "street warrior" thats available for 649.99 out of jegs http://www.jegs.com/p/Weiand/1087690/10002/-1

or the power+plus "typhoon" thats available for 439.99 out of ws6store.com http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1779

each of which are cheaper than the FAST intake and claim to have better power on the top end and equal or more on the bottom and mid range rpm's. even if they are equal in every aspect they are better priced and well worth the money so if the edelbrock can show the numbers on the dyno and price tag hey there's a 3rd option.

It doesn't exist. This intake has been postponed for a year! They keep pushing the date farther and farther back. Hell Ive been watching since august! All your doing there is basically pre-ordering, so when they are released they will ship you one. Go ahead and call jegs or summit and see if they have a Street warrior in stock, bet you wont like the answer. Seriously search 'street warrior'. How do people miss the 1000 threads about this thing?

Look again, it says that it ships in 3-4 weeks, but its been 3-4 weeks for the last several months now.

there is an lsx show going on at the orlando convention ceter on the 11, so if you have any questions let me know. I am assuming that the edelbrock guys will be there.

just spoke to lisa at edelbrock in torrance ca,

retail price is 551.85
release date is due mid january early febuary of 09.

basically what this means is mid 400's at summit and jegs. hell maybe even a group purchase thru one of our fabulous sponsors.


so if the testing comes back positve and it does even close to what it says, hell even make the same power as a fast for half the price is a damn good deal. ill deff be on with this one.
