Make sure to keep us posted on those before and after dyno numbers (especially if you ice it down).

Good choice, I bought one too. I also bought the 85mm intake that was polished. I'm going to take the intake and have it professionally polished.
The plastic fantastic vs. aluminium...not EVEN getting in on that one. Buy a bag of ice, and just go race. Running nitrous or boost, it seems natural to run the alum. intake. But run what ya want. Can't wait to see your numbers. I should have my car out of Speed Inc. sometime in mid may. I'm going to do a big right up about the whole thing.

looks like you could asily increase the volume of that intake by machining the runners external sides soem with the bottom off, and you could easily shorten the runners if you so wanted to.
This intake has some intrestign features from taht aspect.. too bad they didn't amke it with a 90mm opening, I think it would sell better if it did, or if you could just bolt a fast style 90mm up to it.

heat soak Heak soak is definately an issue. Think hairdryer. Air passing by hot elements and boom, hot air. Same concept. Air passing through hot intake, boom, warmer air. Weather or not your driving or standing still, a metal intake will be hotter than a comosite one, its simple physics, and heat transfer, there's no arguing that, (unless you are thick-headed). On the street where it will heat up, do you want to be driving around with less hp than an ls6, or not. At the track, great you can ice it down. Big deal I want my hp on the street where I am most of the time, not down the quarter mile to brag about some numbers.

I made a simple statement and it turned into a whole issue about carrying around bags of ice for the track. How bout we drop the whole issue altogether, fellas, since it's neither here nor there (and I'm not really sure how you can argue physics). It's starting to clutter up this thread that is simply about the guy being proud of his new intake

Well as far as plastic vs metal and bringing nitrous into it, I would much rather prefer blowing apart a plastic intake manifold as opposed to trying to find a link weaker than that intake manifold pictured above and having that explode. Though fuel shouldn't be puddling in the intake manifold from the get go, if it does plastic has less of a resistance to explosion.
Back on topic, I'd love to see that just sitting underneath the hood, it looks mean.

Hey do you have any pictures of your intake polished as it is?

lol this has made a good thread lol..but no this isnt a wal mart special yet lmao.and yes thats usually what i think of too when i here BBK is mustangs .They make a shitload of parts for the stangs.but their startign to come around to the ls1s .But i like the intake i think it looks bad *** especially after i do some more polishing on it and fill the letters in .. so in my conclusin FAST is a damn good intake but pricy . Ls6 also a damn good intake both have been proven hp makers..BBk looks mean and hopefully i can prove it makes some power ,and if it doesnt then off she will come and i will change it
