  • LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRADE WORTH ON A MODIFIED LS MOTOR? HOW TO GAIN, 10 HP, 20 HP OR EVEN 30+ HP WITH AN INTAKE UPGRADE! HOW HARD IS THE FAST INTAKE TO INSTALL? CAN THE FIRST TIMER PERFORM AN INTAKE SWAP?

    My takeaway from the test is that you really have to be honest with yourself about how often you’re going to be above 5000 rpm. For vehicles that see 90% street time, I would argue it’s not worth it. Of course if you’re racing, the FAST is the way to go.

    • @blow0me
      @blow0me Před rokem +3

      in this case, it's more a case that the stock intake/tb just isn't a huge restriction on the small 5.3. But it is equally impressive that the FAST intake loses nothing at the low end, so it is a win win for those who are seeking to grow further down the line

      Even w/my 04 Z06 and 6 speed used as a toy.. I really don't go full throttle over 5500 rpms all that often. It's gotta be like less than 1% of the time. ANd due to traction.. its only in 2nd and 3rd gear when on the street.

    Same takeaway I came up with. For a street rod or street truck application you will rarely see over 4500RPM anyway. In this test there was virtually no difference in HP or torque clear to 5,000. That $1,000+ will go a long way in other areas of your project build. Just my opinion and as always YMMV.

    Great test... This shows it'll shine up top and not kill street manners. And if it's not going to live in the upper RPMs, then it's not necessary...
    That's where a good TBSS intake would shine great at.
    This intake would definitely be great on a bigger motor with good flowing heads as well. But then you get to the point of, when do you just go turbo and keep it more budget friendly. 😁

    It's too bad the price of the Dorman LS2 skyrocketed. If I recall correctly, it made damn good power, not quite what the FAST makes, but close enough considering the cost, at the time anyway. Now they're almost as expensive as this intake if you can even find one.

    • @vans1107
      @vans1107 Před rokem +5

      if you've got this engine in a truck you would be better off going with a NBSS/TBSS intake, much cheaper than the dorman LS2 and makes the same power. In fact there's really no point in even considering the Dorman anymore since the price is over a grand now..if you're spending that much you might as well spend the extra couple hundred and buy the significantly better FAST 102.

    I wouldn't spend the money on the TB, Intake, and Fuel rails until you already maximized your combo with cam, valve springs, converters, gears, tune. Doing this intake/tb/fuel rail on a mostly stock setup that maybe only has headers and a y-pipe this would be money well spent elsewhere and you'd get gapped by a cammed truck or one with a higher stall converter. This would be a good upgrade if you already have the other stuff and just want a little more out of your combo, but I'd probably get a set of ported heads and swap it all on at the same time. Also, can get good gains from a TBSS / later model truck intake swap and you can find those in a junkyard and get it for under $100 if you can find one and remove it yourself.

    Seems like this manifold would be better spent on a 6.0 or a 5.3 punched out too a 5.7 where there would be a bigger requirement for more air volume and flow, a tbss is still the best manifold for a 5.3, considering that you can get ls1 pistons from summit racing for 800 bucks Canadian your money is way better spent increasing your displacement and getting the manifold later

  • @btchhopperou812
    @btchhopperou812 Před rokem +1

    I kind of had an idea where this was going to go because my son swapped out the truck manifold for a fast manifold and the results are very similar. One thing I believe I noticed, or maybe it was in my head, but did anyone else seem to observe the fast manifold and larger throttle body made it louder? Perhaps it was just me or varying placement of the microphone or did I observe the setup becoming louder with the fast? No big deal either way as most people really don't mind a little bit of extra noise if the performance is increased as advertised. Thanks for the test Richard!

    Truck intake will be good for most people. LSXRT is for people pushing the limits of their build. TBSS will increase power across the room range and increase the efficiency of the mods that were already completed and give you most of the gains from the LSXRT without the cost.

    Couple questions if you don’t mind. How much tq does this cam lose over stock around 3000-3500rpm? Any idea what rpm it would idle at and the vacuum at idle? My son has a super clean awd 2004 Silverado regular cab 5.3 and we are trying to decide on cam. The FTI stall I just put in is rated at 3200 and will stall 3500 in 4wd on the foot brake. Truck leaves hard as hell, he has race star drag wheels on it. It’s a stop light terror but needs more power. Stock cam right now.

    I know Richard tested a 102 vs 92 throttle body on a FAST 102 intake, but I’m curious what the difference is between a FAST 92 and FAST 102 intake. I’ve only been able to find tests comparing the old FAST 78 and the FAST 102. The only reason I care is because it’s my understanding that my stock LS1 fuel rails will bolt up to the FAST 92, but I will need LS2 rails with the FAST 102.
