I say do it.

Thing that a FAST does is carries the power out further. And personally I take dyno results with a grain of salt. You can get a dyno to say anything you want it to. The real proving ground for whether a product truly produces more, real, and usable power is at the dragstrip.

If you don't get a bigger TB, it's pretty much pointless.

I guess an IM may be the worst $/HP mod. Ported or new. No real world evidence and the ones that do are only a few ponies.

Well since I'm getting a 418 at some point and love the looks of a FAST intake I decided to take a peek. I can just hope they get decent gains together

Im getting one as well but won't really know how much I'm gaining just by the fast since I'll be upgrading a whole bunch of stuff. Hoping to be closer to you with my new setup and 3.91 gears

I'm sticking with the stock LS3 manifold and "ported" TB with the CNC'd heads for the initial dyno and tuning runs. Once I get the math down next week, I'll look at upgrading to the FAST/NW perhaps the following week or so.

At the very least I hope I can share some graphs and data that others may find useful given there are a number of folks putting together 416/418 motors. In the short term the money not spent on the FAST setup may get used for axles or gears...or both... lol. In truth I may be an idiot and get rid of the tame-ass kooks 2.5" sleeper cat back on there now and get something more fitting for a beast.
