Fast 90mm Intake ports? Has anyone notice the obstructions in the lower left corner of each intake port?
It is 1 inch triangle that stick out ¼” into the port?
Also, the TB opening 1 inch into the intake has a lip of 1/8 of an inch all the way around it.
Is there a reason for this or just a mistake in the molding?
Has anyone tried cleaning up the intake ports and the TB opening?
I would think that these areas could reduce flow numbers.
I would like to clean this up if need prior to installing.

I would say deffinately get rid of the ridge in the throttle body opening if it won't cause you to go through the intake and I doubt it would. Hell if you do that is what they make epoxy for. As far as the other ridge I would say get rid of that to; however, it may be there for port bias reasons.

Thanks for the picture, now that is a good-looking port.
I disassemble my Fast 90 today and started porting it.
First I remove the obstruction at the outlet of the port just prior to the head and it looks just like the one LSUxBlake picture above.
Also, I notice another large obstruction inside the intake at the beginning of the port that I removed and blended in.
I know that this has to help out the flow number/HP alot!
Anyone else have any picture or recommendations on porting these FAST intakes?

Attached is picture of the upper half beginning of the intake runner radius, notice the small ridge across the runner.
I can't think of any reason for that being there can you?
