Default Ported FAST 102 w/ "Stealth" Upgrade

Guys,

Most of you are familiar with the fact I port a bunch of these plastic/composite intakes (all the FAST and MSD offerings).

And a smaller percentage of you are also likely familiar with the fact I (very often) de-badge the MSD intakes for a much more cleaner look when installed (who's OEM adverting on top of the manifold is much more....shall we say obnoxious compared to the FAST.....LOL).

That said while I dont get nearly the same quantity of people asking for the FAST debadging, there are some customer that do prefer that OEM cleaner (it's all stock I swear) look with the FAST intake as well.


Having just finished a Stealth ported FAST for a LS3 customer of mine, the thought occurred to me that most of you likely don't even know I offer this service on the FAST intake so I figured I would share a couple of pics of the finished results with you guys.

With all the "practice" debadging the MSD intakes over the last four years, I think these pics really convey the fact we have this process and the correct materials needed to pull it off down to a science (I've literally done hundreds of Stealth MSD intakes.....no exaggeration).

And btw if you wanted the cathedral FAST debadged, the top would look exactly the same. Besides offering a cleaner overall look for the traditional enthusiast, it's obviously ideal for the late night street race crowd that like to keep the obvious mods at a minimum for better "pre-race negotiations"......LOL

When I fist started doing this Stealth mod years ago the results were good....I was always proud to put my name on anything we shipped but like anything else practice makes perfect and besides the technique constantly evolving, finding the right materials (alot of trial and error) for both the texture and the final matte black finish have put the icing on the cake

I really feel If you didnt know this intake had FAST logos on it at one point you would swear it came out of the box looing like this.






Thanks for indulging me for a few minutes....obviously if any of you are interested in this feel free to reach out to me via phone, email or PM

Cheers,
Tony

Tony I seriously didn’t know you offered this service with the FAST intakes. Looks almost like a stock intake. Very sneaky sir.

Thats awesome looking! Do you offer that service by itself or is it usually in addition to porting?

It would make the most sense to have me port the intake while its in my possession (assuming its not already done) but sure....Im willing to just handle the Stealth top treatment if that's all your looking for

Shoot me an email and we can discuss

Thank you

Thanks Scott....my bad for not getting it out there which is always a "I really need to get to that" and most of the time its overshadowed by the next task at hand.

I really dig both the MSD and the FAST with the logo's removed. I personally love how it cleans up the look under the hood.

Plus I like the "sneaky" and un-suspecting nature of it as well....LOL

So for me (and for others as well who pay attention to aesthetics) its a win-win

We need to catch up soon.....stay in touch

-Tony

Looks great!

However, wouldn't an enthusiast be able to easily tell with the shape of the runners (I don't believe stock runners have that 'shaping')

It's close enough to fool many a casual observer, and I bet a surprising number of those who should know the difference
