This intake is why I haven't bought a FAST yet. I'm waiting to see the price and the gains people are getting with it. The FAST is huge $$ in my opinion.

But why do these companies set unrealistic launch dates if they probably know damn well that they will never meet them??? All it does is **** everyone off.

HAHA!!!! My buddy has been waiting for this intake for a while as well. They opened their mouths too early, they should have made it public knowledge when they only had to do final tweaks to it.

They are going to **** off a lot of people by consistently pushing back it's release date. It's just plain bad for business, I don't care about this intake anymore. I do find it funny that they keep pushing it back though.

Probably not, and that is why they haven't released it yet and might never in all actuality.

I am glad i didn't wait to get this intake and bought a fast instead. I thought this was going to be the alternative to the fast but i guess not. The new 92/92 fast combo picked me 3-4 tenths in the quarter mile this year.

I heard they delayed it because they tweeked it to make power over 6.2k....Which is good but I'm really only wanting to spend 600 MAX on it, I mean they sell their ALUMINUM ones for only 400... Plastic = Cheaper...Pisses me off!

If this is true, i think it will be worth the wait. Can we get anyone to confirm this? Making power over 6.2k

So you think waiting almost a year for an untested intake manifold just to save a couple hundred bucks is "worth the wait"??

In the year that everyone has wasted waiting, I can guarantee those people have pissed away 10 times that on other stuff that nets ZERO power whatsoever..

At what point does the amount of time waited outweigh the money saved.

I'd be willing to bet a hundred bcks that OVER 75% of everyone in this thread who is "Saying" their waiting for this to come out so they can buy it, will find something to bitch about and NEVER end up buying it in the first place..

I'd bet that 100% of the people whom get pissed off @ a sponsor's personal attack will never end up buying from that sponsor.

To stay on topic, will the nylon street Warrior hold spray, or will an aluminum version be offered?
