You keep saying you lost power with the FAST. My question is this: Compared to what other intake did you lose power??????

Do you identify any change in your airflow set-up during the tuning between both intake?

MAF frequency for a CL tune or VE table for OL tune?

If that's the case, then I think you have other issues and it's not the intake.

Not all cars respond well to a fast 90/90 set up. I have witnessed first hand a car that gained no et or hp by changing from the ls6 to a 90/90 combo.

Thank You.
Did this ever happen? Just wondering what the results were.

We had a fast 90/90 pick up over 30 on a 98 H/C car last week coming from the LS1 manifold.

Thank You.
Waiting to hear from you Zach.

Is this guy serious? you might not gain power with a FAST intake if your not pulling hard enough on the manifold, but your not going to lose 20 hp vs a LS6 on a healthy heads/cam setup. Wave action bedamned.

The only reason why you might lose hp with the FAST is if you left the stock valley cover bolts in and made a hella vacuum leak when you bolted the intake down!

Hi Zach,

According to your post # 74 you were suppose to post the results of your Dyno test in TSP with the FAST 90 swap over the LS6 one two days ago....

Does your silence means that you have some bad numbers recorded from the swap of intake to share with us???

Nope, I've been sick for the past few days and havent had the energy to get out there and do it, im working but with a fever as well. The intake box also doesnt have the valley cover bolts to do the swap, I will post up a graph as soon as we can. Hopefully I'll find some this weekend and get it on the dyno when we get some time.

Botton head 8mm 1.25 pitch bolts are avaiable at most ACO hardware stores. Get the amount you require and lets see some testing.

I'll just chime in here a bit. I'm Seans CPA. He has worked on my car on several occasions. The first time Sean worked on my car was for the problem I had after putting on the FAST 90 and the NW tb. Had a difficult time getting the car to idle. He tuned and tuned and we finally got the car to idle pretty good. Sean dyno'd the car and on his mustang, it dyno'd at 398 hp and I don't remember the tq. Prior to changing the fast, I had the factory LS6 manifold on the car. You can see in the sig what mods have been made to the engine. H/C and headers mostly. There is a dyno shop in Sterling Heights that dyno's a majority of Chryslers Vipers, Chargers, etc. Chrysler keeps coming back and Ford has even been to their shop for dyno use. That is all they do, dyno, no tuning, just dyno. They have a dynojet. Prior to changing the LS6 to the FAST90, I had the car dyno'd on their dynojet. It dyno'd 416 to 425 hp. There were 3 pulls and it ranged from 416 to 425. CHanged to the FAST 90 and Sean dyno's the car at 398. Again, that was on his Mustang. That is the only changes that have been made on this car from the late summer 2004 until about 4 weeks ago and I go back over there. The car has an additional 6000 miles on it. Again, the only change is the FAST 90 and the NW tb. This time the car dyno's (on the same dynojet) 396, 398. It lost 20 hp. There is no vacum leak. Again, that is the only change, nothing else has changed on the engine. I have some serious doubts about the FAST 90.

Now to some peoples credit on this board, it has been said to determine the hp at the track. Prior to putting the FAST 90 on it, the best the car ran NA was in the 12.50's. This was at Lapeer and anybody who has run at that track knows it sucks. We just went back up there 2 weeks ago and the car ran a best of 12.265 with no VHT on the track and spinning like hell launching. It was also pulling at the top lilke it had never pulled before. So in that case, I think the FAST did improve the performance. It just lost horsepower and torque. Some will say "what was the temp on both days" Well the first time when it dyno'd 416 to 425 it was 67 degrees. The second time it was in the high 40's low 50's. So it really should have been better the second time.

So it really should have been better the second time.
The improved times could have been due to the awesome DA and tempature at the track. Its tough to say. Would like to get the car in and A and B the manifold in under 30 minutes to test this out.

I'm looking for a used FAST 90/90. Is there a chance that Collin's Automotive could hook me up? Or maybe you guys know someone selling one. Let me know. Thanks

You need to look at MPH. ET is a terrible indicator of performance gains because of all the variables involved.
