Say.....That's NIIICE.... LOL

How does it feel? We've seen inlet temp drops of over 30 degrees with the FASTair system.

 

WOW

That looks like my JL kit.
I'll keep mine.

 

Looks awesome.
Thanks for the pics.

 

Outrageous01, it's actually the other way around, your JL kit looks like our FASTair. We developed the FASTair and released it, then JLP copied it after we installed one on Totaled's truck. I know you like to support your vendor, but please get your story striaght before you make a sarcastic remark like the one above. Thank you.

 

Looks good, they are both nice kits. (PSP & JL) Lets not start a flame war!!

Sal,

Is the inside of the tubing on that kit ribless? Meany with it create turbulance in the flow?

 

Richard, the inside of the hose we use is not "ribless", but it is way smoother then your standard dryer hose like used in aftermarket blower kits. We COULD have used hose like we use in our Gen 1 intake kits, where the helix of the hose is completely extrenal, giving the inside a smooth wall like a steel tube, BUT that hose is almost triple the price. And honestly, the current set up moves so much air as it is, there really is no need to use a completely smooth interior hose.

 

As a stand alone mod how does it feel? And is it simple installation and de-installation (in case of warranty problems)? Thanks in advance!

 

Sal,

Sounds good... The flexible hose helps with BIG RIMS, to be able to move it around some!!

 

Rich, you are correct, I have several customers running the FASTair with 20" rims with no clearance problems. Even if you went with an even bigger wheel, the flexability of the hose gives you the ability to move it so it won't hit if it does.

Rhino, once the system is installed, it's pretty easy to remove if need be. If you are going to swap in your stock airbox for the dealer, you can remove the entire box/filter setup as a unit. The only part that does easily remove, is the one duct that comes through the fender. You'd have to take the fenderwell out to remove that. However, you could just leave that one hose in for the dealer, and they probably wouldn't think anything of it with the stock air box there.

 

Sal,

Maybe this is me just not paying enough attention, but I'm fairly new to the L "experience". I am really impressed with your new fastair system, both the look, and the expected gains. However my question pertains to your truck. Your sig pic shows a hood scoop and i was wondering if you have a ram air set up or if its not a functional scoop. In any event what would be the cost/performance comparison between fastair, and a more traditional ram air setup.

Thank you in advance

Keith

Keith, the hood on my truck is not functional as a ram air. It's a cowl hood, just with a scoop in the middle. I really just wanted something to make our truck stand out at events. As for the FASTair vs a ramair, everyone has thier own opinions, but personally I've never been a fan of ram air setups. Those setups "force" air into the motor and it has no choice but to use it. We've tested ramair in the past, and have seen as much as .5 A/F ratio change (leaner) using them vs not. The problem we've seen is that the forced air setups are very sensitive to weather changes. When I was designing the FASTair, I looked at all the current air systems and filter kits one could buy (including mine) and said "what can I do to improve that". And the FASTair is what we ended up with, trying to get rid of all the flaws in what was already out there. I can definitely feel the truck pull harder at higher mph with it.

Dave, simmer down now...
