Default Need Some Intake Input!

The shop that tuned my car said the Fast intake had reached its potential on a 408 ci. I may be going .040 over and want all the performance I can get. Whats the alternative W/ ported Dart heads. Heard Tony at AFR is porting the fast intake. Any body know about this? I may PM him and see. Thanks for the input.

The FAST intake itself can only be limited if the heads that it is bolted to can exceed the flow of the intake. If your heads exceed 300 cfm or so, the FAST is going to limit you, ported or not. Porting the intake will help, but you will still be somewhat limited with a FAST. Tony does a great job on the FAST, as does Ron at Vengence. Either will be able to "get the most" from the intake. The only way you will utilize your heads to there full potential, is by going with a sheet metal or ITB intake, which can get pricey. However, I don't think the Darts do a whole lot over 300cfm or so, so your not loosing much with the FAST.
