I would also like to see some sleeper packages put together. From reading some post people have been hitting the 400rwhp mark with cheatr cams and stealth cams.

What about the cathedral port heads yall were developing lets get some numbers on them.

Here's a little teaser for you all (full results in a couple days, we've got ALOT more dyno'ing to do): Stock long-block with baby cams and a FAST 92 intake going close to 500hp! 1 7/8" headers are making more power from start to finish of pull over the 1 3/4" on the stock heads/cam configuration with the FAST 92!

We're just getting ready to start testing different cylinder heads this afternoon. Full results maybe this weekend? If not early next week after we compile all the data!

Why would you do it on a 92mm and 1 7/8" setup? The most useful data would be obtained using the most common setup: LS6 intake and 1 3/4" longtubes. The way it's looking, you're doing more of a sales gimmick than a true test that would be useful to the masses. Just a thought.

Thumbs up

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

No surprise on the headers whatsoever; I know from experience the bigger headers make bigger power EVERYWHERE with the FAST Intakes.

Now . . . let's hear about the Adult cams and heads

That's interesting that stepping up to the 1 7/8 headers responds well to the FAST 92 intake. Makes me think that with my ported FAST 90/90 that my next set of headers might be a set of 1 7/8".

Two reasons: First, we have ALOT of people going to the FAST 92mm intake combos on relatively stock engines. This intake picks up power from idle to redline even on the stock long-block in the tests we've run. SO, it actually is good info for the masses that are curious what it does on the stock long-block and are on the fence about buying it currently.

Secondly, we are doing ALOT of different combos during this week of testing. We have not only tested cam only setups, but have been testing many different heads/cam combos including a cam or two of our competitors that random customers sent in to be tested. We did not need to add to the bulk data by testing two different intake manifolds as it would only cloud the end results of the testing. Having too many variables takes away from the credibility of the tests. Having the best supporting bolt-on mods on the engine dyno allows each combo tested to reach its full potential, whether it's one of our camshafts or a competitors.

I like that you are testing on a FAST intake (because like many people I have one). Are all of the tests done with 1 7/8 headers? I don't know if that is justified because not many people actually run 1 7/8 headers.

maybe this will show people that the 1 7/8 are a really good choice to match with the FAST.....and conviently, TSP just released 1 7/8 headers lol.

AND...things keep evolving so pretty soon we might see the 92mm and 1 7/8" combos as the norm...maybe.

Thank you guys for testing all this, it will definately be helpful for many people. Hopefully you guys or another sponsor can get some other results w/ the other intakes/headers in the near future. Or...we could all just in the dyno section because theres a bunch of those setups already out there.
