I've read this article at least 6 times love the content it's helped with my LS build for my truck. Looks like I'm buying a FAST LSXR

[@MrAPCProductions]

The thing to remember is that the flow characteristics of this test are the same for ever single engine produced. They are all air pumps, this isn't just an LS intake test, or even just Chevy. This is all engines intake testing. Its the same protocol we have seen since dyno testing began. We know a certain runner length, volume, and velocity will produce peak power in a given rpm range for a specific set of engine parameters. The part that has forever confused me is why major manufacturers for decades discarded all this information and built pure junk motors knowing they could do better.

What style manifold do you prefer in turbo applications? I know you sort of addressed this... my theory is that a long runner manifold that can make power down low out of boost would be a good candidate and any losses up top could be made up with more boost. Thoughts?

[@alltheboost5363]

So what happens if you do a mild Port job and mildly Port the intake does? Does it gain the same throughout the RPM or does it move the powerband up or down?

[@gn4life84]

A long long long time ago when I put together my first LS motor heads/ cam/ Nitrous setup. I went with the Aluminum Weiand Lingfelter Signature series for many reasons. Some more things to consider besides the power. - Price. Because of the "heat soak" rumors and the fact that the FAST intakes were the preferred monkey see monkey do back in those days these aluminum intakes got a bad rap. So you use to be able to pick these up used cheaper than you could a LS6 intake or the same $300-$350 price range. The Fast intakes were always way out of my price range starting out. It really didn't make sense to me to pay over $1,000 for my set up. - The aluminum intakes had some advantages instead of the heat soak rumors people went with because they were stuck on the composite FAST intakes. Mine came with a window for porting I purchased it used from a speed shop and they ported it for me. I was also terrified of having a nitrous backfire on the FAST composite intake and blowing up $1000 just like that. I did have a nitrous backfire with the Weiand and that window blew out and saved both the intake and the motor. - Draw backs were it was heavy.... Didnt seal easy and always was a little bit more difficult to seat than a normal composite intake. It also used gaskets instead of o rings which help complicate the issue. Overall for the money it was a great value and I think it was the right choice. Car ran great and beat many cars with FAST intakes and similar mods. Would love to see a test with some pocket port work done on one to see if it comes anywhere near close to the FAST

[@doodlebug6833]

damn, never thought of the nitro causing a frag grenade effect with a weaker composite material, but it makes sense that the aluminum is able to hold down the backfire vs blowing up your money basically XD . so from what i read, if you want room to upgrade and have peace of mind for reliability, go with a hunk of metal and have the headache now vs later XD. Thanks for sharing this great little tid bit of experience!
