Installed my FAST 85/85... holy hell!!! Finally got a new oil pressure sending unit today so my gf and I slapped the intake on after work - All I have to say is it was worth every cent I paid for it and more. When you give it full throttle it roars like a freight train... I'd venture to guess at least a 20 HP gain (Keep in mind, I am going from a stock LS1 intake and stock TB, so I think a 20HP gain is reasonable). From 4000-6000 RPM, it pulls so hard it feels like a whole different car. Before, on the 2-3 shift it felt like it took a second to come up on the powerband...not anymore. It starts pulling the instant I let the clutch out. I can't even imagine how quick it'll feel after I do my cam and LTs, but I am pretty damn happy with it now. Best $500 I have spent on the car yet!

It'll make the intake all that much more worth it.
Good luck and enjoy!
Good stuff and yeah it is a huge difference form an ls1 intake. When i switched to an LS6 intake with a PP stock TB it was a world of difference, instead of power dropping off so early it just kept pulling.

Because my intake started as a 78MM FAST. I made a post on it a week or so back. Opened it up to accept the 85MM TB, which was the largest possible for a 78MM intake.
