Impressive! Post some graphs with a tune,intake and full exhaust...If your spending a G on a intake you should at least have those supporting mod's.

Actually the test shows you dont have to. The gains seen will only increase with more mods & tuning, this seems to be worst case senario. No tuning, no upgrades.....

Plus this looks like gains over a TBSS intake, I bet its 30hp better than the non TBSS intake that most everyone has! Headers and catback give you about 20-30hp, and cost the same (or more) and are MUCH harder to install.

Guys,

Im getting lots of PMs. Ask questions in the thread so everyone can understand and learn!!!

This swap was almost a direct bolt on. The only modification that had to be done was to the OEM fuel rails. The original small mounting tabs had to be removed and use FAST's fuel rail modification kit it took about 5 minutes to modify the OEM fuel rail.

This intake is made to work with trucks from 1999-2010 so everyones truck may require different parts. FAST has made a cool webpage so you get the correct parts for your truck. Please goto www.fuelairspark.com/selector to see the parts you will need.

We used two part numbers for this swap;

146602 FAST Intake
146031-KIT Fuel rail modification kit (which was $25-27 IIRC)

That's a good point. The gains would be even better for us guys with the regular truck intake.

Id like to see this with the truck already tuned with the stock intake and then with this intake tuned. Id rather spend 300-400 on headers for 20hp than 1000 for an intake with the same gain..

Keep in mind though that were only running a 75mm TB. The NNBS style like the one tested is a 90mm. Im would think that makes a differance also.

If I put that intake on my truck I'd also put a 90mm or even the 102mm throttle body on too. Thats even more gains...

I "get it" But most people would have at least a tune and exhaust.I'm lucky I have a 2008 with a gmpp intake,LT's ory magnaflow and crap programmer and it hits the 155 limit after awhile. Next G I spend will be a Verter and or N20.
