Aaawwww....look at the cute little thing. FYI...if you're gonna have Tony clean up your FAST, might as well have him tweak a 102tb too . Those baby cubes will need all they help they can get.

Looks great Ron, she's coming together nicely.

Thx Brother. One day we'll be at the same event...

Q: You mentioned FAST rails on the stock (ported) LS7 intake. I swear I've seen such a beast but when I called FAST last week they claimed there was no such part - only the ones for their LSX(R) intakes. FAST also makes them for Katech now but again, only for the LSX(R) intake. I'd love a set like that for the stock intake. Mast had their Black Label rails but stopped making them. Any hint on the part#? Otherwise might have to stick with my Aeromotive rails.

Great catch Gregg. I called COMP/FAST and think they steered me wrong. I was given a verbal that these would work: (jegs) 244-146027-KIT. When we went to install, first they needed injector extensions to sit a little taller (not a big deal), and then the brackets they included would not fit on the factory intake. We'll need to either fab a bracket to mount to the factory rails or go a different route. The rails mounted do not align perfectly and I'm not sure just bolting them down is gonna fix it. Calling COMP today so we'll see.

See above Brent. May have to move that up from phase 2... Thx for the compliment Sir!

Yes - that's the only number I've managed to find and it's for their LSX/LSX-R intake(s). I'm not sure if you will get the injectors to seat. You might be able to machine some brackets to work. Aeromotive makes rails that will bolt-up for you - that's what I'm running now.

Keep us posted.

That is one sweeet engine Ron.

^ I found the email exchange from COMP/FAST confirming they would work, and sent them a note. I'll let you know how they respond!

Give Nate at Nasty a call 847-458-4858. One stop fuel shop.

Why not go with a FAST intake? Leaving a few ponies on the table there mister
