I laugh at how bitter you guys get at the thought of someone NOT buying a fast manifold.
Opinions on this 96mm intake
I dont have a fast manifold anymore, stock gm now... Last time I checked Mexico, and Taiwan werent china, but I never even said made in china cant be a good thing. I just said typhoon and chinese intakes usually suck and thats just a fact of life. Dont be so sore about buying a paperweight.
Mentality like that and going the "easy" way out are why cammed fbodys trap 113 nowadays.

personally the fact they include thick paper gaskets with it to help it seal, and the multitude of accounts that complain of fitment and sealing issues with the flanges would be enough for me to have a case..
but im done with this best of luck...

Its a copy of the Typhoon Intake (which was already a **** design to begin w/). I know I ran one for over 5 years. The sealing and leaking issues were few and far between but a few still existed...plus the things a tank.

Well thanks for all of the inputs. I read a few places that PP re-did a couple things and got better gaskets to fix the sealing issues. Not that it makes me want to buy one, I'm just saying. I'm not looking to build a 10sec street car, so spending $1400 on an intake and TB isn't in my plans so that I can squeeze out every last 1/10 of HP I can get from an intake. Personally I think FAST intakes are overpriced. It probably cost $12 worth of plastic to make. Now if they droppped them to half of there asking price like the majority of the other intakes on the market, then I would buy one. But the fact that they only make a few more HP than a BBK or whatever doesnt make me want to spend an extra $500 to buy one. I'm happy with a $4-600 intake. Not $1000. But I doubt seriously I will be getting the Typhoon. Thanks for the help!!

The popsicle stick 10 bolt is Mericun though, so be proud and pound chest about that?

I came across this intake today while searching for an LS6 or Fast intake. This is an interesting intake to me due to the price. The price of a Fast intake is a real turnoff, I would obviously like a quality intake but not for over 1k. If I could find one for 500 I would pick it up though. Is this a direct replacement for an LS1 car? I noticed it said aftermarket fuel rail required.

I bought my pro-products 96mm typhoon on here for $300, I bought the fuel rails for $100, new updated gaskets for $25. I can't complain for the price. Just got my bigger injectors in today so it's back to the dyno to try an crest the 400hp mark. Currently at 378hp with maxed out 26lb. Injectors. I'll post up results as soon as I have them.
Id put a Tony Mamo(or any) ported fast up against a BBK intake in a second and I guarantee it would make more then a "few" hp more. Gotta pay to play and unfortunately this hobby isn't cheap. Wish you luck w/ the build.
It comes down to this if you have bolt ons, a stock ls6 intake or dorman intake will be just as good as these aluminum pieces, but will be lighter and worth more eventually when you go to sell it. You can also use stock fuel rails which save some money. When you go to a cam there is simply no comparison a fast blows them away by about 15-20 hp. I have had 3 fast combos and have never had more than 600 invested in one of them....Its not hard to find a deal

No you dont need a fuel with a fast 90/92 you can use the stock fuel rails and injectors. Obviously a tb will need Its a bolt on and go application just need to swap the valley cover bolts out which are about 10 bucks. The typhoon needs an aftermarket rail to clear a typhoon or professional products so thats another 100 dollar cost to add to that intake, as the cheaper ones dont usually have them.

A stock ls1 TB won't bolt to any aftermarket intake without and adapter since aftermarket manifolds are 4 bolt. They do sell adapters though. But at any rate getting a 90/92/etc size intake and then putting a 76mm TB on it is a huge choke point
The original fast 78 takes a 3bolt TB though and will provide nice gains especially when ported just not as much as the larger ones
