There is not a set budget. I have a fast 90 mm setup rite now but it is brand new the engine has never been put in a car and started yet. I was just wanting to see which intake setup produced the most hp. Whether I needed to keep mine or sell it and get another one

well if your n/a it doesnt get much better than a fast until you get into sheet metal intakes or ITB intakes. Id gladly buy your fast from you if you decided to switch setups

your best bet will be to have one made custom for your setup. Expect to pay several thousand for it though.

he could be though, i meand on a D1 yeah he may be only giving up a little, on somthing like an 88mm or F1 im sure a fast would be giving up alot over one of the other manifolds.

IDK if hes trying to be sneaky so no one knows his setup or what, but i know if he layed it all out on the line from blower to cam to head work and everything someone that knows exactly what they are talking about would chime in.


this would pry do better in the FI section


*edit* i still call dibs on the fast

I ain't being secretive just hardly on here. I have a tsp fully forged and blue printed 408 stroker with afr 225 heads 9.2to1 compression ration I was planning on running around 15 lbs of boost. I have a fast 90 setup rite now. Just wandering if I should keep it or go to a different intake. I like the 102 setup And also like the vi jr aluminum intake and elbow setup. Which would you all choose.

well i would just keep the 90 honestly and have it ported/port matched to your heads and call it a day. The vic jr's really love high rpms so you will really be needing to spin that motor out and it will give up quite a bit down low. Take that money you saved and invest it in traction mods, i am sure you will need it.

I am unsure how much the 102 will gain over the 90 on a boosted setup but I would imagine a ported/port matched 90 will be within 10rwhp of a 102 and it might not even give up any power. I dont know what the difference in runners is.
