My FAST is shot, I just found a crack in it. I hope they hurry this along, I need a new intake ASAP and don't feel like forking out $850 again.

I thought this new manifold was better for stock cube motors. With a 408 and big L92 heads aren't you better off with the FAST?

I wish they would hurry up and get this to the market so we can test it! I'm way past due for my intake swap, however I'd love to learn a little more about this one before simply biting the bullet to get the FAST setup.

I'd think an aluminum intake such as the BBK would be a more durable choice for boost or nitrous.

I wouldn't use aluminum for anything unless you really like heat soak.

Plastic won't take a nitrous backfire-aluminum will. Aluminum is heavier tho.

Everyone talks about heat soak, 90% of all out race motors run some form of aluminum cast or aluminum sheet metal intake, really it isn't that big of a deal.

I think this intake will be nice but I am tired of waiting for it and all the other bs hype, I'm going with an Edelbrock super victor, which will out perform both Fast and the Weiand

i've seen the aluminum version of this on fleabay for like $350-400. I hope the Composite is at or near that price. They would sell like CRAZY. i think with the Weiand and a Vararam or blackwing intake i'd hit or go over the 400RWHP mark I've been really watching this one as well

This thing coming to market is slower than a geriatric using a walker trying to compete in a 10k marathon....I'm sick of hearing the hype on this thing.

It's all my buddy talks about.....watch Trickflow's intake come to market before this intake....I understand they want to make it to perform well, hopefully for them it is priced right and lives up to the hype

hp and trq always cross at 5250 but good catch..
