New FAST intake at the PRI show in the states.

Due out next year with adjustable intake runners.

Ive heard from someone who is at the show and they have stated that 3 runner lengths will be available depending on the application

All looks good. I wonder if it's all within the same lid ?

And is it all strengthened for no worries with lots of boost ?

I'd never really looked at the FAST intakes until recently when I seen their truck intake. The normal ones never really excelled in the boost world

When I seen this picture the other day...it really does seem a bit bizarre when they could have done the short straighter runners like they are now proposing

Does this mean the new casing is the same as the old intake.

It's not clear to me from the press release whether the new runners will work in the old lsxr, mine is currently open but it isn't ls3 so I can't compare for clues. I think I'll stick with the long runners for low-end though.

Cant do all of them, LS7 is a different bolt pattern

The ls7 intake is a different intake all together but you can buy the adjustable runners.

I know i out lsa and ls9 which are blown cars but essentially the new intake design is only for square port style heads and not cathedral port heads.

Shame about that because cathedral port heads still make good numbers

But an interesting concept because it allows a customer to try an optimise a power band for the application without buying a metal intake which would suffer from more heat soak smile

Even better, it will be interesting to see how this new intake performs when compared to the new MSD Atomic intake

All sounds good, as long as it doesnt take years for them to actually release them

LS6's arent cheap, so cant see the earlier ones changing in price much.

But you never know.

I can but hope.

Heads is what I need to be honest. They just never are cheap!!!

I might have an ls6 intake soon enough. But if a fast was to pop up cheaper then woooooooo

Relatively speaking, heads are cheap and very good value.
