I was wrong. It's Holley that has the new tunable 95mm and 105mm throttle bodies. For some reason my memory was thinking it was MSD.

It's in-line with the pricing of the FAST intake...which is stupidly expensive for what it is.

we still got 2 months before its out but kinda makes me wonder if its worth it on a ls1 h/c set up they tested it on a ls7 way bigger cube inch than ls1 and they made 36 hp on a fully built ls7. Also in the video they say you can use stock ls2/3 rails or there msd rails but in summits website says aftermarket rails will work as well they need to get there **** straight on this damn thing and give us every bit of info.

Thanks, I couldn't open the video on my phone so I was just going off of pictures. I'm actually pretty excited now that I know they paid the money to get it submitted for CARB approval.

Oh I agree! I was just supplying info for said question

It's good to know Nate is already on top of this for fuel rails and will be making sets as soon as they're available

I got my 92mm TB from Ballistic Speed when they were on sale for $150. I think they turned off the lights once it was shipped.

I think you're right. No one was ever able to answer my question about them still being in business in that other thread.

The intake runners look shorter than the F102. predicting less low end torque and more power up top compared to a FAST, which works for me.
The way its made the intake cover seems a little tight to the runner openings. not sure what to make of that.

I'm all in for new stuff in the LS world, especially stuff that fits under a c5 hood.

Waiting very, very impatiently for an independent back-to-back test...

I can pick up a new LSXRT on sale for $850 today and that's very tempting.

Honestly if you can FIT the RT, I'd jump on it. I don't care what it looks like, it performs. If I had a snowballs chance in hell at fitting it under a C5 "any" hood, I'd have one.

That's what I'm thinking too. I have plenty of room for it in my Olds. I've been told there's a good chance the FAST intake will be sitting under the tree for me on the 25th.

Which is a bummer because they had a solid product and clearly had the ability to sell them for a price well below all competition.

Yeah, I agree. Finding a used one will probably be pretty hard too since they didn't produce them for very long.

Well, I haven't heard back from them for about a week now. I guess I need to email them again.

I think people here who are expecting to see this thing outperform a Fast on a typical mild setup are going to be disappointed. That's not what people need to get excited about so much as it's a good competitor for the Fast which should help promote price competition as Fast will no longer have the market cornered.
