POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake?
Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake? well, since Im NA for now, and wont be sprayin any time soon, make it whichever way is cheapest, which sounds like plastic.
Plastic intakes can be a problem if you have a n2o backfire. Instead of a taco'd throttle plate you have expensive bits and pieces.
Metal wouldnt be suuuuch a big deal heat-soak wise if it could come with phenolic spacers.

Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake? Looks like if you don't pass 6200, you wouldn't benefit by this intake. That's right where my dyno graph flatlines as well.
I'm raising my limiter to 7500 this week. Sign me up... I'll take Plastic.

Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake? Not sure how the intake will work on a "stock" motor since it was designed as a race intake,and will labeled as such. Both versions should be able to take 20lbs+ of boost easy. Right now,we are street testing and track testing the intake for results.
trucks,never thought about that. Guess I will have to look into that.

Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake? Hahah...Yeah, let LOTSOFUN test one out. It looks like most truck guys won't benefit much though since most of the gains are above 6200 like Andrew said earlier.
Do you think these would benefit a blown motor any that isn't spinning much above 6000rpm??

Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake?
was that 20rwhp gain over the LS1 or LS6 intake?..im interested in one if it's over the LS6..any flow numbers on the intake or a head with the intake bolten on?Finally a decent intake!!!! 
One more vote for plastic, gotta keep the weight down
Re: POLL, plastic or aluminum version of FMS intake? Looking at the graph the sheet metal intake had more bottom end and top end. There is a small spot where the LS6 has more hp but thats probably tuning related.

I vote for the plastic... Im using NOS Pro Race Fogger System with NOZsels in stead of the regular foggers ...
Plastic would serve me better.
