Hmmm. I think it's ugly as sin; but those numbers are pretty insane, if they're to be believed.

I'm not very good at reading dyno sheets yet: but I don't get how they'd get those numbers without some other variable?

I agree. But if it was satin black it wouldn't look so bold. I think they want it to stand out. Point is, the new MSD doesn't really out perform the FAST intake like I thought it would. The gains were all up top. Now this alien intake, totally different story. If I change intakes I want power under the curve and gains up top to justify switching.

Yes. The material used in the picture is for proto typing.

It will appear much less ugly if it can perform the way everyone seems to think it will.

I agree! I've got a 416 that's patiently waiting on it.

I've had mine, but have been working through my entire build. I started the motor last weekend for the first time, and should hopefully put some miles on it this weekend once I get some things sorted out.

I know it's not before/after, but I will be putting my car on the rollers once I get my tune squared away.

I can say, I've had an ls1, ls6, ported FAST 90, and now this MSD Atomic Airforce, and I will say that the MSD is the best built one. Just the engineering of how it's bolted together is better than my FAST 90 was. Who knows, maybe they improved on the 92/102's, but the MSD is put together very well.

Fast 102 way better than a 92. I wonder how easy the MSD is to port. I can't make up my mind which one I want.

I'm still awaiting tests as well. I think the fact that we haven't seen testing much at all speaks volumes. If this thing really beat the **** out of a fast vendors would be plastering it everywhere trying to sell them.

Vengeance put one on a c6 and said the gains were in line with what they normally see with a fast
