I'm sure you can find them cheaper, I was just listing a readily available and reliable source of new LS3 fuel rails. Otherwise you get people saying, "I'm not putting used fuel rails on my new intake my car is better than that."

Then but a complete new LS3 intake with rails injectors and DBW TB for $500. Sell the TB for $150, the bare intake for $200, and your old injectors for $200. You'll have brand new 42 lb injectors and fuel rail, plus $50 in your pocket.
Valid points gents, valid points... Wish I could use the Gold blade on my car...
Looking forward to results and testing. I bet they haven't test fit on a C5 yet... I think I just got my "in"...

True, but I have more injector than that currently.

I was just starting to figure out the differences in the Fast Intakes and now a new one is coming out. I am sure when said and done I will be looking at different heads to complement a new intake for the LS1. Sometimes it sucks being new at this...
You'd be best starting with the heads and having a cam spec'd around the heads, intended use, other aftermarket parts, etc.

And that is exactly where I am at right now. Researching the best direction to go with a stock bottom end. Hopefully some numbers will be available on the intakes by time I get to that portion so i can make a better decision. I just keep looking ahead in my build before I get to the next step.

Verdad Gallardo In my opinion, as long as you know you're not going with single plane intake, you can go ahead and figure out what heads you want to run and have a custom cam ground based on those heads, the rest of you mods, intended use, desired RPM range, etc. The cam can be ground knowing that you'll be staying with a composite type intake, regardless of which one you go with.

MSD has clearly done their homework with this thing. If they're going to turn out products like this I hope they start branching out into other areas like cylinder heads, fuel systems, valve train, and camshafts.

I picked up my LS3 intake, 42lb injectors, and rails for $300 from a vette with 8 miles on the odometer.
they claim to make 36hp over the competition... I would bet money the intake the compared theres against was not a fast....it had to be the weakest intake out there ever made ...I'm sorry but your not going to gain 36hp over a FAST in a profuction intake that they are going to sell.... I hope they can prove me wrong but I would bet money on it that thats not going to happen
Personally I don't care... Numbers are subjective anyway. For all we know they sprayed nitrous in front of the damn thing.
The runners look better to me... Straighter shot. More bell mouth on the individual runners themselves.
I'm just happy theres FINALLY some competition to the FAST and made of polymer.

I can't wait to put it side by side with my FAST and do a compare / contrast.
