Default New FAST LS1 Intake/ Cartek Intake

I'd like to look into a new intake for next year.

The choices seem to be FAST, LPE, and Cartek.

Are there any pic's of the new "grafted" intake from Cartek that is in Brents Vette?

What gains have they shown with the new Cartek Intake?

TTT I'm curious as well. What about the NX and BBK intakes? Hell while we're at it what about the carbed intake? I don't think it will fit under our cowls though.

Is Brent running a new intake? From what I see there is something on that vehicle that they are not talking about. I posted on the CF about his intake and exhaust and no one would say. He was running a TPIS modified intake.....

Before saying Brent has some hybrid tricked out intake on his car, let's make sure this is a fact. I for one wasn't aware of it. Maybe he'll chime in...

Well they do run a belt it just broke,They were testing to see if running the belt off too.It didnt do squat with the asp and the ewp so they went back to the belt.

The intake I BELIEVE is a modded intake that excepts a TPIS TB but I could be wrong.

Thats about all I know....

No problem, Big Mike.

The FAST intake is gonna be out soon, so if any other entities are looking to compete they better start getting the word out.

We have a custom sheetmetal intake. It gained 43 hp on a 427 na motor and works way better on spray or boost cars. We have a 90mm TB for it.

Nasty Performance sheetmetal intake $1999.99
90mm TB to match $675.99
