From what I've heard the fast intakes tend to make the idle climb up and down if not tuned correctly. Some tuners even say not to run the fast just cause of that problem but I think its just cause they don't know what there doin. Imo get it on a dyno and get a well known company to tune it.

Ive heard the FAST setup in a bit touchy, however for those power gains i wanna keep it. Id love to have it done locally, but there is no one worth while in southern ontario.In Canada its a whole other ballgame when it comes to performance parts and tuning. We dont have local speed shops or dyno facilities really to speak of, theres a few, but none worth even talking about.

Me and justin are hoping to get it fairly smooth, then in a bit organzie a tune meet in buffalo that i can trailer the truck down and have it worked out perfect in person

+1 absolutely. He nailed my tune the first time straight through the mail without having his scan cable tune with logs to go by (the truck was disabled at the time when I needed the tune )

I still wanna know how you're going to get around emissions without the cats. Farm plates? MTO and MOE have been cracking down big this summer too, at least around here. So much so that I've considered pulling the kit off my truck. I'd rather get caught with a pound of cocaine and a kidnapped baby than go through one of those inspections with unhidden nitrous.

pm me for details on that blackcash

SOOOOO as u see in another thread, that fast lsxrt, and another fast lsxrt are both not fitting right and have massive leaks, explaining why its so erratic. SO I pulled it off, and went with the factory intake sadly, however, im tired with FAST BS, even there customer service is disgusting.

So im either gonna get a new Factory TB, orget an upgraded one, new videos soon to come

Did you get it tuned? Is Agostino Race Engines still around, they were in Pickering. Someone has to tune their combos.
