Tony Mamo does them too, excellent work. Freaking fabulous actually. And dyno numbers proove it. Many people on average gain about 20whp when switching from a LS6 to a FAST ported.

Does he just port the big *** ridge out of each runner, or does he actually port match it to the head's port?

You can do the big ridge thing on your own, but to get it port matched to the heads is the hard part ....right?

p.s. I should have a FAST 90\NW90 waiting for me at home tonight from TSP.

He works for AFR. He posts on these boards all the time and is a very knowledgeable guy. Right now he's even thinking about sending me a set of 225's out of the kindness of his heart....

I had Tony port my FAST 90 to the AFR's. Came out very nice. Don't want to give away any of his secrets, but he does a bit more than grinding down those ridges from what I could tell. Haven't had the car running yet so can't say what the gains will be. But he was a super nice guy, very pleasant to deal with.

Tony Mamo is da man when it comes to porting and getting power out of the FAST manifolds...he knows some secrets about airflow and velocity...etc (as if i know what i'm talking about ...but thats how the tricks work)

A friend of mine should be having his done soon...and hopefully my intake will be sent with his and we will get both of ours done by Tony.(hoping)
