fast90 or aluminum?

[02sunsetorangeZ]

my brother is in an argument at work he told me to get on here and ask just because he cant someone at his work has an '01 Z. he has a fast90 but said he wants an aluminum intake cuz the aluminum flows better. i would rather have the fast, what do yall think?

[vetteemt]

I'm not sure about the flow difference, but the fast does not absorb heat like an aluminum intake will. Which means the fast will have a slightly lower intake charge temp. The aluminum intake is great if you are going to run some type of boost because it can handle higher pressures.

dont take this the wrong way..but your brother is dumb on this one...aluminum does not flow better..also with aluminum..you get heat soak waaay more then fast...he already has the 2nd best intake on the market..only behind the fast 92/92

Too bad the Fast intake is the most expensive one out there.

If he has a FAST 90 on a stock cube LSx motor, there isn't much in the way of an aluminum intake that will help him (unless he's running a FI or N2O setup and wants a little added security).

I used to have the aluminum Weiand intake on my car and I picked up 45 rwhp and 20 rwtq just from my mild head swap and a ported FAST 92/92 combo. Keep in mind, that's only a gain in the peak numbers....I picked up a TON of power throughout the band.

fast's have always been able to handle N2o and FI..if you order the optional burst panels.

I got one for you. Tell him the aluminum is better, then buy his fast off of him at a steal price once he buys the aluminum.

no no my bro has the stock ls6 intake. the guy has a fast, 3500 stall, and gutted cats but wants an aluminum but my bro, blue02Z said the fast is better.

a ported 90/90 fast intake is about the same as a ported fast 92/92.. their is really not that much of a difference in them except that fast stop makeing the 90..

:Burnout:

i'm curious how you know that? the plenium is increased and these 92s are said to be easier to port..

[blue02Z]

hey everyone, the dude has an 01 z. it is cammed with stock manifolds, gutted cats, 3500 stall and 3.73s. he also has a fast intake but wants to get rid of it because he wants aluminum. i told him he was crazy and the fast is better and will run cooler. he told me i dont know shit about engines and he could build a better engine because aluminum you can port and the fast is uportable. i told him whatever big guy and walked off.

The 92 isnt that much more of an intake.

Only the mouth is an extra 2 MM's. The plenum is the same. They are almost identical, to my understanding.

The extra 2 mil in the mouth isnt going to do much. ESPECIALLY on a stock cubed LS1. I bet you dont see any more gains with the 92 over the 90. All they did was re-do the 90 with a slightly larger mouth and tell everyone it is the cat's meow compared to the 90.

[0verkill]

ya the fast is the best on a stock ls1 a 90 mm is good you dont need the 92 till you go fi. and it can be ported thay add stock just for that. i want to know what happend to the weiden composit intake that that say is going to out do the fast if that happins i want one. but where is it

saw a extra 5hp on the dyno...take it for what its worth...dyno fluctuations ect.

great minds think alike!!!

+1 ^^^^^

My tuner told me the samething that the only difference is the mouth but you can port the mouth to a 92 on a 90 fast.

aluminum is best for forced induction.
