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??

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.

Re: POLL,plastic or aluminum version of intake? Can I get one for use with C5-R heads in plastic? I'm sure sheetmetal could easily be done. Just got a sweet deal on C5-R heads.

Re: POLL,plastic or aluminum version of intake? I don't remember if I posted yet but my vote is plastic, I'd be glad to test it out on my new 422, I would give you a before and after dyno.
