just got in from installing the new FAST intake, man does this intake look massive when next to the stock intake.

i used the factory fuel rails and injectors along with the fast spacer kit. here are a few things i noticed during the install that were not in the instructions:

1. you need 2' of 1/2" vacuum line to re-connect the power brake booster because the fast has the vacuum port in a different location

2. you need the oil pressure sender positioned so that the locking tab of the connector is facing twards the rear of the vehicle or the intake will hit and bolts wont line up

3. the fast intake has the wrong vacuum connector for the line that goes to the drivers side valve cover/pcv, i used a short piece of 3/8 vacuum line for now and cut off the plastic line so i could slip the 3/8 hose over it

4. the map sensor harness will not reach, and needed to be extended about 4"

5. if using the fast injector spacers, install them while the upper part of the intake is off, otherwise the spacers hit the upper cover and wont press straight in

6. you will need a small vacuum cap for the rear of the intake, the fast intake has a small vacuum port on the back that is not used on the camaro.

total time 2 1/2 hours that was including a trip to the parts store.

I have read that the intake is good for about 3whp over stock. Gains really start coming in with a cam.

jay_lt4

yes cam and stroker engines, just like mine!

2010_5thgen

so the the fast intake would be good for a cammed motor? what kind of power gains would be expected? i have been debating whether or not to get one because i heard they didnt help much for the price, but being that my car is getting cammed as we speak, ive concidered it again.

Is there an intake that say a first time person like myself could install or do you recommend having a shop do it due to lack of personal experience? Ive done CAI's on 4 Cyl's but they look alot easier to install then the piece you installed. That looks sexy

Just so there is no misunderstanding of terms, this is the intake manifold, that sits on top of the engine that feeds air to the cylinder heads. HUGE difference between this and the Cold Air Intake.

If you have never done one before or don't have the tools or the time, I would suggest a shop.

Lowridah98

Ah ... this is where Im getting Educated .... Now for his pics did he jus do Manifold or did he do a complete swap of the air intake system? Either way it looks Sweet!

JasonD

Looks like the air intake is not stock, that's for sure!

2010_5thgen

its a b-woody air intake.

You need to do the relocate of those two hoses. They kill the look of the killer intake.

jay_lt4

already did that a long time ago:
