At this point they need to just announce that they have canceled the intake so everyone will go on with their lives.

If and when it does come out then that will just be a pleasant surprise for all that are interested.

I agree, I would almost welcome it at this point.

While I was disappointed, I wasn't even remotely surprised/shocked by this news.

What kind of numbers are you getting out of these and on what engines? Price isn't really great but how it performs could justify the price.

I know they let alot of guys stand around with their dick's in their hands waiting for this.
I wish i was going to the SEMI show. That would be the first booth i would hit. And give them a few choice words..lol. And i'd also tell them that the guys at the FAST booth thinks you guys are a joke If they start getting upset then you know the thing is coming out, but now they better remember all the customers they possibly lost cause of all these delays. So it's the L92 version thats holding things up? Well the hell with that thing for now!! They can start
making money and start shipping out LS1/LS6 style intakes now, unless that isn't done either

I am just a little skeptical about their claims with this intake. I don't have a lot of faith as to what part makers claim as HP and TQ gains. I want to see this on a few of our cars and then see the real truth.I am sticking with my Typhoon 96 MM

This is pretty funny.... I had checked on Jegs back on Monday, and they estimated delivery tomorrow, the 8th. So I checked today, and Jegs says backorder 9 weeks.

Factory/stock 90mm throttle body or ported stock one?

My prediction: 423rwhp/406rwtq

I've seen it happen on a bone stock LS2 automatic (Corvette), JS's GTO is cammed so I'm thinking it could be at least in the same range.
Maybe it is a little high though, let's ammend it to 395rwtq just to be safe.

1st results unported Fast vs the unported LS2

13.5RWHP
8.3RWTQ

This was with no tuning,I am going to the shop now and we will tune the unported Fast.One of the reasons I didnt port the Fast was I wanna do heads later and thats when I will port the Fast

Hope I can hit 420/395 once I'm done tuning?
Right now I am at 414/388

Well I hate to bust your bubble JJ but once tuned the Fast made 424RWHP/420RWTQ
I picked up 20RWHP/28RWTQ...

Next is a ported TB

Which was very close to my initial prediction of 21rwhp/26rwtq gains based off of the earlier 402/380 numbers.
Damn that FAST intake REALLY works.

VERY nice results JS, congrats.

Nice gains Joel.... I said it before, the FAST is a good improvement over the ls6 intake.

[QUOTE=JS;10445238]Well I hate to bust your bubble JJ but once tuned the Fast made 424RWHP/420RWTQ
I picked up 20RWHP/28RWTQ...

There are so many variables on Dynos that a 20 HP gain today could be 15 HP tomorrow on the same machine
I only use a Mustang Dyno. Last Dyno Run for my car was 425 RWHP 440 RWTQ corrected on a 05 LS2 A/4 trans with stock heads. I am sure if I dynoed it again I would get a different number
The FAST can get gains in the 20 HP area depending on the tune and Dyno used. The average gain for a FAST with basic bolt on's and a cam W/O a tune are around 13 RWHP which is what I gained with my untuned Typhoon over my ported LS2. I wanted people to know that if you are looking for a intake for a LS2 motor and don't want to spend the bucks that the FAST cost, don't overlook the 96 MM Typhoon. It will give you good solid gains over the stocker and for under 500.00 with Fuel rails is a good deal and you will never feel the difference between the 2 intakes on the street.
The Weiand intake [ if it ever comes out ] will most likely be around the same area in HP gains.

And usually an even bigger one over the stock LS2 intake.

15 to 20 hrs apart on the same dyno and tuned before and after...
Come on bro u gotta admit it,the Fast rocked...

To tell u the truth,I was as shocked as u too

Final numbers tuned for the LS2 were 404/392

Final numbers tuned for the Fast were 424/420
(15 to 20 HRS LATER SAME DYNO)

I wanna port the 90TB next and redyno...
Then its either a set of heads or a direct port setup

So you gained 13.5 from the intake and the rest from the Tune. Right around the 12 - 15 HP I stated you will gain from a untuned FAST. Just what I gained with a untuned Typhoon. I am just having a little fun with you. The FAST is a great product. Just want people to know that there is a alternative intake for the LS2 that works very well and will give you good gains at a great price

Good numbers my friend

P.S. This tread is about the Weiand. So lets get back to that.
