Booom ^^^^ the truth, IMO the fast 102 would be the last piece in my book to complete a max N/A build along with a matching TB.

Hio you're the exception to the rule. Your car does things others just don't

That's a compliment, btw
Thanks. ......it's the little things like a fast intake that gets it there.....lol

I think I could maybe make a rt intake fit a 4th gen. I just hate to spend $800 to see if I may be wrong.

$1600+ for a 13-15 hp gain just doesnt seem worth it to me regardless to whether its just peak or gaining all over the curve. I almost went with FAST over my stock LS1 intake but realized my car wont be making the power to take full advantage of the FAST intake so i just went LS6 because im poor. FAST is definitely not a "bang for the buck mod". Then again its always nice to be able to pop your hood and have that bitch just sitting there cheesin.

The intake itself, gaskets, injectors, fuel rails, throttle body and the list goes on. Seems like a lot for little gain. Of course the guys who have FASTs will disagree with me.

Yea i woudnt the intake for a stock cam and 241's these intakes belong to a combination they work together, but since hes going with a bigger cam and 243's i would go for it

As stated previously if you got the money go for it! I'm sure it will do well along with the heads. Good luck!

The only way I could justify one of these intakes is to sell my LS6 intake and buy a used fast...that way it would only be a few hundred bucks. Otherwise for the 1 grand plus I'd much rather buy a nitrous kit and make 10 times the power of that intake
