I about fell out when i noticed the avatar, that is funny. But on a serious note, i hope you get the intake working better for you Carlos, i would be sick if i just spent that kind of money and got these results. But after all this it makes me wonder if a ported Fast isnt the best intake for the car period. Especially after the guy in the Drag racing section w/ the TFS heads went 115 mph NA on pump gas and a ported fast in the 1/8 th. It really makes me rethink my setup since i just sold mine to get the GMPP intake and 4 bl TB.

I will. I hope it picks the car up. I made 500 rwhp through a th350,steel drive shaft, 12 bolt on slicks. I will be changing the entire top end but we will see.

here ya go Carlos. https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...445-alive.html 
But it says he's only shifting 6800, so it's not like he's really spinning very high to where it needs more than the fast really.

My old intake is not much different .....

I shifted it at 7,600 with my Hyd roller set up and shifted it at 8,500 with the solid roller set up. It was a TERD on the motor .... shifted into high gear (glide) at about 900' on the motor.
Doesnt look like a bad intake but I think it will need the right cam shaft, converter and will need to turn some RPM. I swapped converters about 4 times last year to get mine right. Sucks but you do what you have to to make it work.
Good luck with it.

Yeah, but I saw in another thread where Wayne said that he swapped to a super vic single plane and went faster than the sheetmetal with no other changes (or I think with no other changes)?

Looking at the Fiber tuned intake, looks like the floor is below the runners. Thats the main difference I see from all the other sheetmetal intakes. Do you think that if the floor was raised or countured to the lower part if the runner that it might help with Volumetric efficientcy(VE) of the intake? The short Runner is great for topend. It still can work on the street for the extreem hardcore who dont care about no slow speed torque.

Figured the car was pretty light.....none the less even at that weight (with an assumption the D/A was pretty low that day), that shows the engine to be producing high 600's at the flywheel. Definetly solid numbers!

PS....I disagree about the fibre tune and the camshaft....spending days on the dyno with each might have shown slightly different results but think about an LS1 intake compared to a ported FAST.....25+ difference in RWHP without touching the camshaft. The cam isnt the missing link here IMO

I was looking forward to seeing better results, but with the runner length I thought it was going to potentially be an issue. I think the best thing you could do right away is simply switch to a 26 inch tire, wind it out more, and see what it does. If that picks it up and you want to run a 28 inch tire you just switch gears.

Hopefully we will see some dyno figures start rolling in here in the next few days. If someone does create a new thread for dyno results, please link it back to here.
As stated before, I will not be changing cams or gears in order to accomodate this intake. It would be foolish to go off and spend a bunch of money just to get back where I was with poorer drivability. This car is my daily driver and gearing up without having overdrive is not an acceptable option to me right now.

hey guys, i've been talking to Dave a little via PM, he sent me this a day or two ago:
Nice. We will be doing dyno testing this week with a ported fast VS the fibertuned short and long runners.
