I think results from independent sources will be difficult to track down.
One thing I can tell you is that it should only be considered if your building a fairly stout 400+ cubic inch motor you plan to turn upwards of 7200 + RPM's (not ideal for a hyd. roller).
The runners are too short and will cause a sizable loss of low and midrange TQ on a smaller motor unless you plan on spinning that one 8000+....I have a contact at Wilson I have spoken to at great lengths concerning this intake and Im considering trying it on my 415 solid roller motor which I am currently in the process of building (months from completion however). Even the combination I am building I am worried I might give up too much in the bottom/middle of the curve, but Im hoping the gains upstairs make it a good trade and the additional displacement (from a 383 currently) will cover up some low/midrange TQ issues (still hoping to net more TQ than the 83' with the much longer runners of the FAST). I will back to back this intake versus my current ported intake which should be an interesting test.
BTW, I finished the TB and will be shipping it overnight on Monday....your suppose to get it sometime late Tuesday.

thanks tony.i heard the number was either 6 or 7 buyers so far.usually if its a big performer we should have heard about it by now.i am not knocking wilson or anything,it is the wait i cant stand!please let us know what the outcome will be.either its going to fall flat on its face,or they are going to have a long line of buyers when the word gets out.
