Well as we spoke on the phone this intake is perfect for the daily driven street vehicle. If you are looking for torque and hosrepower below the strasopheric rpm numbers where the f.a.s.t. produces, then this is the intake for you. The f.a.s.t. will produce more power up high and weiand has never claimed otherwise. So we will just have to wait and see! As soon as they are available we will be doing a back to back dyno AND et comparison on a 370. STAY TUNED!!

I noticed the dyno numbers they posted peak torque was only in the 4500 range.
Even with a LS6 manifold it shows the cam is obviously very small, and either way still making A LOT more power at any rpm than the LS6 which is a good improvement if it actually makes up to 30/30 hp/tq than an LS6.
Even if a FAST did make more HP from 6,000-6,500, and the Weiand made more from idle - 6,000, why would the FAST be so much better for higher rpm, even a T-56 which has closer ratios and less rpm drop than an auto still is going to see about a 1500 rpm drop, so if you revved it to 6,500 and shift you're talking about dropping down to 5,000, which the Weiand is supposed to make more power from 5,000-6,000 range.
So 1,000 rpm with more power or just the last 500 rpm?
As far as saying buy it if you run from 0-6200, if you rev it past 6,200 go with a FAST, it has to be tested in some cars that actually have cams and produce power above 6,200 before any judgment should be made.
Now if this thing hangs with a FAST up to 6,500 rpm making close to the same power as the FAST and more in the 5,000-6,000 range, the FAST will become for a limited few that are going to rev past 7,000 or big inch motor guys.
I really hope this thing becomes the next hot ticket, and if it does the 78mm's FAST days are numbered.
If it is 650.00 or less and you can run a small TB or a 90 mm TB and it even comes with an adapter to run a smaller TB it's going to be bad ***.
Also remember it was tested with a 84mm TB, it hasn't even shown numbers with the 90mm on it yet, so hopefully they are promising.

sounds to me from reading this hole topic it will be a good peace on a 346 to a 364 with heads and a cam that peaks at 6200 RPM. and say a 230/236 other then that for any thing bigger cube or running cams for higher RPMs on a small motor looks like a fully ported fast is still the way to go
