Please don't think that I don't love the way it looks, and the performance is definitely a step above the LS6 intake at every rpm. For some reason I was thinking you did the swap from a FAST 92/102 to this and had the gains.

My only reason for windsheild wipers is just to pass inspection. I actually remove my wiper arms most of the year, then put them back on for inspection.

How bad was the cuts in the cowl that you had to make? More or less compared to the Maggie kit?

Well, not really a lot of work, I guess its just the wiper issue. You need Wipers here in FL. Bright and Sunny one second. Next Second Torrential Down Pour!!

It destroys the FAST in the most important category. It's not over priced.

Will admit that NA the FAST probably wins. Won't know for sure 'till NA numbers on the mini-ram air start showing up.

Very true, it's priced a good $400 less.

I am thinking of using this intake on the '02 5.3L w/GM hot cam in my '68 C10. The one thing I can't find is what injectors work with the manifold and fuel rails. I'd like to order it all at the same time, but can't find any installations with part numbers. Any help?

More like $325 or so. If it takes your wipers out and some massaging with no real gains over the FAST intakes, the $325 is worth the expense to me. I don't suspect the Holley to perform better and it would be good to see a real comparison. We need the folks at Vengeance, Texas Speed, Tick, Mamo to do some testing for us.

You have dyno sheet comparison SAE corrected? uncorrected is meaningless comparison, 40hp swings due to temps we see all the time in uncorrected numbers
