Here are the results plotted with power and torque.

I know I won't be getting rid of my FAST anytime soon, unless magically the fiber tuned does alot better in a forced induction application.

Thank you for the clear graph, numbers are never lying, and magic is for fairy taile...

Good stuff...
The graph tells the story fairly well.
Looks like the Fibre-tuned could still use a slightly longer runner IMO but all of this type of stuff just takes a tremendous amount of dyno time and R&D (barring getting lucky quickly!)
A high strung aggressive solid roller motor spinning 6200-8000 RPM would certainly benefit from the current design but it wouldn't makes sense for the garden variety hyd. roller combinations that are alot more prevalent here.

From the looks of that graph, maybe a 440 ci solid roller motor that will see 8500 might work well with it, but I would be willing to bet you take this intake, put it next to a port matched single plane like Cary's (both being about the same price) and I would hedge my bets on that single plane making more power, and the under the curve area again, would probably have similar results to what has already been found.

Might be right, but then again anyone putting a 440 CI 15 to 1 compression 9000 rpm motor in a car that needs this kind of intake flow up top probably doesn't mind doing some trimming to make it work.
Hell that's all probably cut out in the attempt to get the raceweight down anyway, so that's a mute point.

I just stumbled onto the is thread. It's a long winded one, but worthy of attention no doubt.
I'd love to see a good proven FAST intake alternativeas well.
FWIW we started off shifting at 6800rpm and bumped the shift points up to 7200rpm to lower the trap rpm down to 7400rpm. Our MAP on the old 408 was 99-100 at WOT. Now with the 445 and the same FAST 90mm intake the MAP readings are 93-94kpa. I'm taking that as an indication of a restricted manifold for the engine size or volume of air movement needed?

Well I sent our other one back today to have the partition removed for my boosted build. We will see. My friend with the solid roller (test bed) is going to restall for this intake and give it a chance to work up top. Track times for the big spray high RPM motor and for my boosted build will be coming within the next month or so.
Update: Hope to have the boost reinforced intake back by the end of next week. Turbo build is coming along pretty quickly.

The Fibertuned Intake and solid roller LSX that were test on the engine dyno are in the car now and we hope to have some track times next Friday. Here's a picture of that one almost wrapped up.

Just got mine back today reinforced for boost. Looks great Vinny! I'll get some pictures once I get it in the car and get the turbo plumbing hooked up.
