I hate to throw another option out there, but there is another intake on the horizon that is promising to flow better than the FAST 90 and looks to be cheaper. It is suppose to be released for sale in the next couple of months, so I don't know if you will want to wait that long for it to come out and and for the data to be verified that it is as good as they say. Anyway here is a link to what I'm referring to. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=409589
but it looks like alot of people and idfo point toward the fast 90 setup .,i just have a hard time swallowing that kind of money for minamal benifits,i guess thst par for the course tho.well i hope atleast it an easy application ,and theyres no suprises after i open the box ,like you need this or that ,or you gotta cut this,ya know for that kind of money at least they could make it easy.thanks.and im still open for sugg if anyone sees this

Anybody seen/used this intake?
Not even sure it would work on a truck but it is for LS motors

Some new info from Tony Mamo @ AFR (from a post on another site)

The reason is simple....without a high flowing head, the stock intake represents less of a restriction. The larger the restriction it becomes, the higher the gains when swapping to a deeper breathing better designed intake.
Here is a copy of a recent independent test where a customer knew he was going with a set of AFR's in his future, but wanted to get his current combo a little stronger in the meantime because obviously an intake swap is easier, faster, and less costly than a heads/cam install.
The baseline is a 99 LS1 Vette with a Vararam, lower stat, and a set of ARH headers. The longblock is bonestock with LS1 heads obviously. The car also has 0-30W Amsoil in it which is also likely worth a few more ponies and was installed already prior to the baseline run.
These are very good gains for a stock heads/cam car and when he goes with the AFR's down the road, while normally he may have gained say 40 HP, he will see an extra 10 that is still hiding from the intake swap. Most of my customers see in the vicinity of 25 RWHP with my ported FAST installs (assuming they already have a set of aftermarket high flowing cylinder heads).
Also, notice how the car makes more torque from the crack of the throttle till redline....the entire curve is enhances and Dan has commented that the throttle response from the swap is also very noticeable (much sharper) and he really enjoys that as well.
Cheers,
Tony
