I have mine set just under mach 1 so it it doesnt exploded once i break the sound barrier.. Id still rather see this intake bolted on after a cam, headers, and tune. and with a 78 tb to see if theres that big of a difference for $1000 intake or if alot of the gain comes from the 90-102 tb..

Nice gains...Like everybody else said,id like to see the tuned #'s 
Geez...
Guys,
Im getting lots of PMs. Ask questions in the thread so everyone can understand and learn!!!
This swap was almost a direct bolt on. The only modification that had to be done was to the OEM fuel rails. The original small mounting tabs had to be removed and use FAST's fuel rail modification kit it took about 5 minutes to modify the OEM fuel rail.
This intake is made to work with trucks from 1999-2010 so everyones truck may require different parts. FAST has made a cool webpage so you get the correct parts for your truck. Please goto www.fuelairspark.com/selector to see the parts you will need.
We used two part numbers for this swap;
146602 FAST Intake
146031-KIT Fuel rail modification kit (which was $25-27 IIRC)

A couple of questions here (that I'm pretty sure I know the answers to by looking at the pics).
Where does the stock wiring harness bolt down to?
Where does the Evap hose hook up to?
How does the stock engine cover mount up?
Where or how can you enlarge the stock DBW throttle body to 102mm?
I bring all these questions up because this intake doesn't seem like such a bolton deal afterall. Sure it works but it's not a clean install. Quite honestly I think it looks like **** with wires hanging all over and nothing to hide them up or secure them down. That's just my opinion though. If I'm going to go through the hassle of an aftermarket FAST intake, I'd much rather go with the car intake instead. If I'm going to look ugly, I'd at least want the most performance out of the intake as possible. If anyone wants to argue about torque, this dyno pull should have been from 2K RPM +

2) The evap hooks up exactly as it does from the factory. Its not in the pictures but FAST includes the correct nipple for the evap to connect to, just like the factory behind the throttle body.
3) There are no provisions for the engine cover, I wouldnt want to cover up my sweet new intake?!?!
4) There are at least two aftermarket compaines that sell 102mm DBW throttle bodies.
