Considering it has their TB on it....

I'm just guessing....$1500 ish...if it really makes 50 rwhp more that would be something.

But for those that have been around a while, I bet this turns into a fiasco like when FAST was suppose to release an intake for square port heads years ago....always a delay and ultimately I think because it didn't perform like the cathedral port version did at the time....

Like I said in the other thread, in theory it has all the design elements to make it a good performing intake. Now whether it does or not is what we are waiting to find out.

Heads/cam and big cubes is where I bet this performs best. Am I the only one who doesn't care what the hell it looks like? I race with my hood closed. I could care less if it was pink with little hearts on it. I want to win. LoL

I could care less how ugly it looks as well. 50rwhp is a massive gain and I will believe it when I see it. If it truly does make that much power with a bolt on setup or even a mild cam only setup then count me in.

It says it fits "LS3 square port" as one of the applications...

Man that thing ain't gonna make nowhere near 30 hp. I say 10 at the most...maybe through some stroke of luck it'll make 15. But I'm saying 10 tops.

I think people say stuff is ugly just to be saying it. I mean, every intake manifold out there, someone came on and said "oh, that's ugly". This one isn't even too far from the stock intake. I personally think it looks great! But still, I'm not buying it to spruce up the looks under the hood...

Camarojt · 05-28-2014, 02:19 AM

I think it looks like a storm trooper off of Star Wars lol but I'm like Juice...I could care less how it looks as long as it performs. But I seriously doubt 50hp or even 30! I'm agreeing more with Blaqwhole on this one. 10-15 maybe.

Juice2SS · 05-28-2014, 05:07 AM

I'd rather have some low end torque. Forget the hp.

Oh that is coming. I am doing my research. I want to make sure I have all the right stuff. Progressive controller, window switch, and timing retard setup for that to work for me.

1989GTA · 05-28-2014, 01:01 PM

If it turns out to be 15hp with a modded car I am in. I am at the point where additional horsepower is hard to come by. New heads might give me another 20+ but that is a lot more money.

You gotta love how vararam comes on here and makes one post about products and then vanishes without answering any questions. ..
