haven't heard anything performance wise but did you look at it?? man that thing is fine! much better than all the other bland looking intakes available for the ls1....although if it doesn't perform worth 600 dollars then its just an overpriced decoration.

all i got to say is WOW

nice looks, and its supposed to give 17-25 HP over sotck and flows 15% more than an LS6 intake.

not bad!

put the price under the FAST, well under the FAST...and they have a winner

I would buy it but I would personally just go with a LS6 from Texas Speed & Performance...they're on special for $360 brand new right now

yeah on one of the car mags its advertised price is $549. just like you said its supposed to be better than the ls6. i actually called them and they said that they were trying to be way better than the weiand intake manifold and at the same time perform just as good or better than the fast as well as beat them in price. theres no way i can drop 900 bucks for the fast. thats a cam for me man!!

yeah i think the fast is directed more towards the big boys...

its 3 peice so you can take it apart and port it

i wont ever be needing that so the bbk looks pretty good

but im not sure about the aluminum....what about heat soak? i guess since its still making more power its not a problem...
