Default Ported FAST 102 w/ "Stealth" Upgrade

Guys,

Most of you are familiar with the fact I port a bunch of these plastic/composite intakes (all the FAST and MSD offerings).

And a smaller percentage of you are also likely familiar with the fact I (very often) de-badge the MSD intakes for a much more cleaner look when installed (who's OEM adverting on top of the manifold is much more....shall we say obnoxious compared to the FAST.....LOL).

That said while I dont get nearly the same quantity of people asking for the FAST debadging, there are some customer that do prefer that OEM cleaner (it's all stock I swear) look with the FAST intake as well.


Having just finished a Stealth ported FAST for a LS3 customer of mine, the thought occurred to me that most of you likely don't even know I offer this service on the FAST intake so I figured I would share a couple of pics of the finished results with you guys.

With all the "practice" debadging the MSD intakes over the last four years, I think these pics really convey the fact we have this process and the correct materials needed to pull it off down to a science (I've literally done hundreds of Stealth MSD intakes.....no exaggeration).

And btw if you wanted the cathedral FAST debadged, the top would look exactly the same. Besides offering a cleaner overall look for the traditional enthusiast, it's obviously ideal for the late night street race crowd that like to keep the obvious mods at a minimum for better "pre-race negotiations"......LOL

When I fist started doing this Stealth mod years ago the results were good....I was always proud to put my name on anything we shipped but like anything else practice makes perfect and besides the technique constantly evolving, finding the right materials (alot of trial and error) for both the texture and the final matte black finish have put the icing on the cake

I really feel If you didnt know this intake had FAST logos on it at one point you would swear it came out of the box looing like this.






Thanks for indulging me for a few minutes....obviously if any of you are interested in this feel free to reach out to me via phone, email or PM

Cheers,
Tony

That looks really good Tony. I'm super impressed with the texture and you can't tell where the lettering was at all.

Thanks Guys....

Getting the logos off the curved runners of the FAST is much trickier than the MSD but you have more surface area on the MSD so the time required is about the same

Either way Im really happy with how these are coming out lately. Lots of practice makes perfect.....LOL

My Stealth MSD is also a huge winner in the aesthetics department for those unfamiliar.....the OEM MSD is an ugly duckling with the excessive logos plastered all over it.....in Stealth trim it looks like a completely different intake (much cleaner)


OEM cathedral MSD below....




Same cathedral intake with the Stealth top on a recent engine I built and dyno tested.....much cleaner looking.

I agree with the others, amazing work.

If there was someone who produced your quality of work in Australia, I would have to try a ported and "stealth" upgraded Fast 92 on my LS1, even though it would probably make nothing with my small cam and ported 241s over my LS6.

That looks very nice. When I either rebuild this LS1 or go bigger I would like to get my Fast redone like that.

2fast4u,

I PM'ed you regarding pricing and shipping costs etc.


Guys once again I appreciate the appreciation of the work....thank you

I do feel the Stealth tops we are shipping now make it extremely difficult to tell it didnt come out of the box that way (which naturally was always the goal....we have just gotten a little better at it!)

Cheers,
Tony

PS......Grubinski (Mike).....the Stealth upgrade would look especially good in your super clean Miata engine bay.....make that LS swap look even more stock.....LOL
