Default Redyno after installing FAST 90/90 over ls6.

I'm not able to post a dyno sheet but I can tell you I was a little dissappointed at first when I saw a total gain of only 11 rwhp over my ls6. This is after all tuning was done. But...when I thought about it, the 415 rwhp was made with 3.42s. The 426 rwhp was made with 4.10s. It's been dyno verified on a few occasions that 4.10s normally show a difference of 10 rw less than 3.42s. Assuming this to be the case, the FAST has given me roughly 20 more rwhp over the ls6 intake.

I know it's not a total apples to apples comparison but I hope it's close enough.

Did you trap any higher with the fast? I'll be getting a retune this Friday with my fast but I'm cam-only so it might not make as much of a difference as with heads.

Though I've been to the track with the new intake, I don't have a full pass under my belt yet. I've been having tranny issues that has been keeping me from getting it into 4th when racing.

The car is definitely making more power, judging from the fact that it no longer hooks going into 2nd gear. On most of my passes before the intake, it would bark 2nd gear. Now, it spins for several feet before it hooks up. It definitely feels more violent going through the gears but I won't have any proof without a complete pass. My 11.82 @ 121.8 pass was with the ls6 intake in the summer. I'm hoping to run 123 mph at full weight on street tires with the FAST.

It did pick up power under the curve with the FAST. I've heard folks say that the intake loses torque but mine increased. It could be due to the increase in gear though.

The car was tuned by F-body central.
