F.a.s.t102 intake

according to this test they lost power in low end and gained very little in top end so they switched back to the stock intake :ugh2:
im really doing alot of reading and looking up on this intake before i blow $1,200,that test was on a 6.2...they mentioned they didnt have enough cubes?

what do u think?

i think $1200 would be better spent on something else, $/hp imo arent worth it, unless you have deep pockets and everything else done to the truck. but that intake looks killer and is supposed to have really good flow.

i just need every bolt on possible to be all n/a lol...im lacking this intake/pulley/rockers and better headers.i want some arh

i went with a stock ls3 intake and had it ported, a whole lot cheaper than that thing. Another part of the problem is i feel sure they ran a 90mm tb on that where to see any gains i feel sure you need a 102 tb, last time i went to lmr every l76 car there had these intakes and they have some one make them 102 dbw tb's not sure what there gains are but i was looking at over 10,000$ in intakes and tb's kinda freaked me out a little lol. I would just have your truck intake ported or get a vette intake and have it ported

i run the nasty performance fuel rails i think, you would be fine with a stock vette or camaro rail

Was that a 102 car intake? I saw a test on of the 102 truck intake on a Vmax at PT.net and it gained 19hp peak and lost nothing anywhere in the curve and that was with the stock TB.

Nevermind I clicked the link. Yeah the LS3/LS7 intakes are not blowing anyone away. That tells me GM actually did a good job with these intakes. Now the 102 stuff on a cathedral motor is still doing well.

if you are not going 408+ i wouldnt worry with that intake imo. UNLESS you plan on a huge ass turbo/Procharger set up.
