CPG Marketing — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:33:51 GMT

Innovator of performance EFI technology extends its line of revolutionary LSXR� Intake Manifolds to maximize the performance of GM LS1/2/6 engines

The engineers at FAST� teamed up with the airflow specialists at RHS� to develop a three-piece, polymer intake manifold for cathedral port GM LS1 engines. The new LSXR� 102mm Intake Manifold for LS1 Engines offers all of the modular advantages of removable runners, while achieving modest gains in performance over the already proven original LSX� design.

Building upon the performance legacy of the original FAST� LSX� Gen III Manifold, the new LSXR� 102mm Intake Manifold features a three-piece modular design that allows easy disassembly and porting. Extensive testing led to a runner design that is longer and less restrictive, yielding both torque and power gains over the stock intake. New to this design is the ability to remove individual runners from the manifold for modification.

The LSXR� is constructed from a proprietary advanced polymer material which offers a host of benefits over aluminum aftermarket intakes, including lighter weight, strength and improved heat dissipating characteristics. While the LSXR� features a 102mm air inlet that is perfectly suited for the FAST� Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body�, it can also be used with stock or aftermarket 90mm or 92mm throttle bodies. Other features include integrated nitrous bungs and perfect bolt-on fitment that allows the use of factory accessories without modification or clearance concerns.

FAST� Crank Triggers

CPG Marketing — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:11:17 GMT

Innovator of EFI technology develops new crank triggers for Ford & Chevy applications that eliminate the possibility of inaccurate or inconsistent rpm measurement

Recently, engineers at FAST� turned to the OEMs to see what they trust in the way of rpm-measuring crank triggers for their 400 and 500 horsepower daily drivers. Until now, flying magnetic trigger wheels with bulky inductive pickups have been used with the risk of broken mag�nets or losing magnets at high engine rpm. Now FAST� has a better answer.

A magnet-free device, this new piece from FAST� includes a wheel constructed from ASTM A36 grade steel that is so strong that it only needs to be .125" thick and is virtually inde-structible. With the wheel being this thin, it not only weighs less but requires less space than competitors� aluminum versions. And the FAST� inductive sensor is also much smaller than others on the market and is hermetically sealed with the connector molded into the body.

The key to the crank trigger�s dependability and accuracy lies in the trigger wheel design. Rather than having added magnets, the wheel has tabs on the outer rim. These tabs are measured by the inductive sensor as the wheel revolves, which then provides data to the fuel injection and ignition systems for accurate rpm measurement. And because the tabs are a part of the single wheel unit, there is no possibility of loss or fragmentation as with the magnetic style trigger wheels.

This sensor is used by OEMs both on and inside the engine and provides long-lasting, accurate timing. Installation is straight forward, and everything required is included. For those already using the FAST� XFI� system, it�s a plug and play unit. In addition, it�s compatible with many other EFI systems on the market.

Installing The FAST� Wide-Band Air/Fuel Gauge Kit

CPG Marketing — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:54:15 GMT

No matter if an engine is fuel injected or if it runs with a carburetor, tuning is important to assure everything is operating the way it should. The tuning process is decisive in determining that a powerplant will produce the desired power, torque and efficiency within the demands of specific applications.

With lots of tools available to the casual driver or the serious competitor, tuning tools can range from gauges to expensive analytical equipment. For most of us, having the resources for expensive tuning equipment is not an option. And for most of us, we look to more simple yet reliable ways to know an engine is tuned right.

Gauges and other similar instrumentation are one of the best ways to tell us that the engine tuning is good and operating as it should. And instrumentation generally won�t require a stimulus loan from the government to pay for it.

One especially valuable instrument to check on engine performance is an air/fuel ratio gauge. This gauge is a simple and economical way to show how an engine is working within its parameters for power. And the good news is it�s affordable.

Wide-Band Air/Fuel Gauge

A Wide-Band Air/Fuel Gauge Kit from FAST� is the perfect source to gauge this kind of data so you can be sure the air-to-fuel ratio is correctly maintained for any given engine application. The kit has an economical and accurate 2-1/16� gauge that won�t overcrowd your instrument panel and is back-lit for easy night viewing. It�s also wired so it is powered up whenever the engine is running. Along with the gauge, the kit comes with a Bosch wide-band oxygen sensor and standalone sensor control unit that mounts easily in the interior of any vehicle.

The kit works on any engine and it comes with everything you need including the gauge, module, harness, sensor and bung. Simple to install this system is not only for serious power tuning but also ideal for monitoring the overall fuel tune of the engine no matter if it�s daily driving or performing in competition.

The installation is uncomplicated and can be accomplished in a couple of hours by the average person and the included instructions provide very clear guidance in hooking the system up. To illustrate the setup, we put the kit into a 2005 Ford Mustang GT and below is an overview of the installation steps. This overview illustrates the simplicity of installation, but you should always refer to the included instructions for complete details.

[IMGLFT=The process begins with the installation of the O2 sensor bung. The

best location is just upstream of the catalytic converter. To put the

bung in place, first an opening is made as is illustrated here.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%201.jpg[/IMGLFT][IMGRT=With the opening created, the bung is welded in place. If you don�t

have the proper equipment to install the bung, a local muffler shop

can do it for you.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%202-AF.jpg[/IMGRT]

[IMGLFT=Next the wide-band O2 sensor is threaded in place.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%203.jpg[/IMGLFT][IMGRT=This photo shows the wiring components included in the kit. When

the main sensor cable is routed it�s important that the cable and box

(shown in center of the photo) are located away from spark plug

wires, distributor, ignition coil and hot engine components. This step

helps avoid any electrical interference or potential damage from heat.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%204.jpg[/IMGRT]

[IMGLFT=As shown here, the gauge wires are color coded and matched to the

ends of the O2 sensor processor unit. The instructions make the

attachment locations clear.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%205.jpg[/IMGLFT][IMGRT=Now the placement location of the gauge is determined inside the

car and the gauge is mounted and the wiring connections are made.

As is shown here, the connections is a simple plug-in.]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/Photo%206.jpg[/IMGRT]

In this illustration the location of the gauge for this 2005 Mustang GT is to the left of the instrument panel for easy viewing.

The Wide-Band Air/Fuel Gauge Kit from FAST� is an essential part of engine performance monitoring that every car enthusiast or serious competitor should have.

Race Pages Install: FAST� Wideband Air/Fuel Gauge Kit

jbarker — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:12:16 GMT

It�s been a while since you�ve seen our �99 Lightning, Project Trash Hauler, in the pages of Race Pages. We originally did an install on a Bassani cat-back a few years ago, along with some other goodies, and that was going to be it for the Hauler, as it has to get us around every day. However, we�ve decided that if there�s a part we can install that won�t affect the drivability, we�re going to bring it to you, dear reader, to showcase the latest and greatest available for your 2nd-gen Lightning. This month, we took a stab at installing one of the brand new FAST� Wideband O2 Sensors, complete with analog gauge [FAST� PN 170634]. This is truly a bolt-on installation, as it took us just a few hours in the confines of our newly cleaned-out garage.

FAST� saw the need for a reasonably-priced wideband kit, for those of you who take the time to tune your own machines via one of the excellent aftermarket handheld programmers or other aftermarket fuel-injection systems.

[IMGRT=]http://www.cpgnation.com/filehost/files/8/FAST Stories/AF%20Gauge%20Kit-Installed-Resized.jpg[/IMGRT]

This kit definitely falls under �reasonable�, as it retails for under $300 from a variety of sources. The Bosch wideband sensor is heated, so it takes approximately 10-15 seconds to get going once you start your vehicle, but after that it�s monitoring your air-fuel ratio in real-time, making those tune adjustments a snap. It comes along with all of the wiring you�ll need, a baggie full of wiring connectors that will be necessary to wrap up the process, and a slick silver-faced analog gauge, in addition to a processor that�s wired in-line that is necessary to process the information coming from the sensor.

The 2 1/16th gauge is backlit, so it will be easy to see at night on the racetrack, or just cruising down the highway, and meshed nicely with the gauges already in our truck. Follow along with the photos as we show you just how simple the process was, and if you�re in the market, we�d definitely recommend one. It will come in handy in next month�s issue when we detail some more modifications that are on the way for Project Trash Hauler.

CPG Marketing — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:27:35 GMT

EFI technology leader introduces a new wide-band air/fuel module that plugs into SuperFlow dynos with a convenient 4 pin AMP style connector

For years, if you wanted to use your dyno�s powerful data acquisition system to display and record air/fuel ratios, you would have to piece together an external, standalone air/fuel meter, along with a custom made wiring harness to get a proper signal to record � not a simple task and definitely not a short one.

Seeing the need for an easier way, FAST� engineers developed a plug-and-play module that makes it effortless for owners of any SuperFlow� 902, AutoDyn or CycleDyn dyno to measure their test engine�s air/fuel ratio. The FAST� Air/Fuel Ratio Module for SuperFlow Dynos includes a wide-band O2 sensor and an O2 sensor processing unit that plugs directly into the AMP style connector harness on the dyno. Once you configure the dyno�s analog channel for the fuel you are using, the dyno will begin to display and record the engine�s air/fuel ratio.

Making it easy to use was a priority for FAST� engineers, so these sensor kits utilize fully automatic sensor calibration. No need to manually �free air� calibrate the sensor, just turn the power on and in just seconds, the FAST� unit outputs an accurate and consistent air/fuel signal. Additionally, each sensor kit is a standalone unit, so using multiple kits for measuring all your engine�s cylinders is a breeze.

With industry leading plug-and-play installation, accuracy and ease-of-use, it�s clear that the FAST� Air/Fuel Ratio Module for SuperFlow Dynos is the best choice for serious engine tuners.

The Crew At PlanetLSX.com Reveals All About LSXR Manifold

CPG Marketing — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:26:01 GMT

We test the latest intake manifold on our project Z06 Corvette

The new "LSX-R" 102mm intake manifold by F.A.S.T. (www.FuelAirSpark.com) was released for production recently for the LS7 7.0L engine. As we all know, the potent 427 cubic inch mill from GM is factory rated at 505 hp. Until now, nobody had developed a composite molded intake manifold for the LS7, so most owners opted for mildly ported OEM intake manifolds to squeeze a little more output from them.

Planet LSX decided to do its own testing, rather than buy into sales propaganda, or make decisions based on online forum antics. We own a brand new 2009 Corvette Z06, which was completely showroom stock besides a nice set of HRE wheels. It was begging for modifications, and we enjoy testing new stuff. The car had 5,050 miles on it, so it was ready to break the seal.

As soon as the intakes became available, we put our order in for one. When the UPS truck made us happy, we picked up the phone to Late Model Racecraft in Houston, TX (www.LateModelRacecraft.com) to utilize their new state of the art dyno facility and installation expertise. Don't worry, yours truly still gets his hands dirty and did some wrenching as well. It sure is fun installing an intake manifold on top of a hot engine on a 102F day!

FAST� LSXR� 102mm Intake Manifold for LS7

CPG Marketing — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:53:23 GMT

Revolutionary new intake manifold maximizes the performance of GM LS7 engines

The LS7 may be a powerful engine platform, but when has that ever been enough for the performance enthusiast? Now GM LS manifold technology has been completely reinvented. The engineers at FAST� teamed up with the airflow specialists at RHS� to develop the all-new LSXR� 102mm Intake Manifold for raised rectangular port GM LS7 engines. Recent testing by Katech Performance produced gains of 16 horsepower and 18 ft/lbs of torque at the flywheel (versus the stock intake) on a LS7 with a mild performance cam, Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body� and a Killer Bee intake. Testing at the School of Automotive Machinists on a 500c.i. LSX engine with LS7 heads netted even more impressive gains of 26+ rear wheel horsepower.

Following the path chartered by the original FAST� LSX� Gen III Manifold, the new LSXR 102mm Intake Manifold features a removable runner, modular design that allows for easy disassembly and porting, including the ability to remove individual runners for modification. Extensive testing also led to a runner design that is longer yet much less restrictive, yielding both torque and power gains, and a larger 102mm air inlet to increase flow over the stock intake. While the LSXR� 102mm air inlet is perfectly suited to the FAST� Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body�, it can also be used with stock or aftermarket 90mm or 92mm throttle bodies.

The LSXR� is constructed from a proprietary advanced polymer material that has been burst tested to withstand 67 psi of boost. In addition, this polymer material offers a host of benefits over aluminum aftermarket intakes, including lighter weight, strength and improved heat dissipating characteristics. Other features include integrated nitrous bungs and perfect bolt-on fitment that allows use of factory accessories without modification or clearance concerns.

Testing FAST's LSX Intake & Throttle Body

CPG Marketing — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:49:26 GMT

Fastest Street Car's LS-Wonder Camaro is a typical LS1-powered automatic SS with bolt-on's. It made 309 rear wheel horsepower with under drive pulleys, exhaust, cold-air, and a tune. However, we were looking for more, and beyond the nitrous we had been squeezing at the track, the next thing on the install list was to dyno test the FAST LS1/LS2 Intake Manifold and "Big Mouth" 92mm Throttle Body. Here's an overview of that experiment and the results.

<embed src="http://www.powertvonline.com/xp2/d3d3LnBvd2VycGVyZm9ybWFuY2V0di5jb20/8567/1001/off" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="430" height="343"></embed>

Fastest Street Car Project LS-Wonder

It�s been quite a while since FSC tested their LS1-powered Camaro, the LS-Wonder. With the amount of time they were working on their personal projects, the �company car� sort of fell to the wayside. To give a recap of what the LS-Wonder is armed with, under the hood is an 88,000 mile 2000 LS1 with a ton of bolt-ons; underdrive pulleys, Hooker long tube headers, a K&N cold air kit, Flowmaster/Mufflex exhaust, a 150-shot from a Nitrous Works system, and a performance tune from DiabloSport. But what makes the LS-Wonder really work well on the track is the TCI 4,500 stall converter and a set of 4.10 gears. With this combo and set of BFGoodrich drag radials we were able to bust low 1.60 60-foot times.

FAST LSX intake and 92 MM Throttle Body

With all the added power elsewhere and the need for more airflow, the FAST LSX manifold and 92mm throttle body were the next parts we planned to upgrade. Forum members noted power increases of 20 or more horsepower over the factory LS1 intake with no loss of drivability or low RPM torque, which is what really got our attention.

Though the FAST intake is made from a polymer material like the stocker, it�s considerably stronger and is designed

with porting in mind.

Intake Design

For the design, the guys at FAST assembled a team of some of the best manifold experts in the country, including Keith Wilson of NASCAR and NHRA fame, with the goal of making a high-flowing intake for the growing LS engine market. They engineered a unique, three-piece design that allows you access to every inch of the manifold. The middle and upper shells can be changed to allow for additional engine modifications.

Finally, the intake runners can be match ported and include witness grooves to indicate how much material you can remove, and the intake is low enough that it is easily concealed under a stock hood, too. The polymer construction means that the F.A.S.T. intake is significantly lighter than aluminum intakes (11 pounds vs. 26 pounds).

�Witness grooves� cast into the runners show how deep the intake can safely be ported, taking the guesswork out of the process.

The intake is made from similar materials to the OEM piece, but is 30-percent stronger thanks to the �Amodel� polymer material, and unlike a metal aftermarket intake, it won�t heat-soak and warm up the intake charge. The intake also features integrated ports for use with direct port-nitrous injection. Even though this is a composite manifold, the added runner material is a sign that it can still be ported and a patented three-piece design allows easy access. Additionally, we received the Wilson Manifold version of this intake that includes burst panels to help prevent engine damage caused by nitrous backfires or boost pressure overload.

To compliment the manifold, we also opted to go with FAST�s new Big Mouth 92mm throttle body. Compared to other throttle bodies on the market, the Big Mouth features a series of innovative design changes and a slightly enlarged throttle opening. But the increased size of the FAST Big Mouth throttle body is just a small part of the added benefits. FAST invested significant testing and engineering resources into optimizing cross-sectional flow and eliminating airflow turbulence, especially in part throttle operation.

In addition, these throttle bodies offer increased throttle blade thickness to eliminate deflection commonly found with other throttle bodies, especially those in boosted applications. A smoother-operating offset blade pivot improves throttle response, corrosion-free stainless hardware is a step up from the typical plated screws, and a beefed-up linkage and dual throttle spring mechanism ensure total throttle control. It works on GM�s Gen III & Gen IV to increase horsepower and maximize the potential of performance upgrades.

FAST�s 92mm throttle body is designed to compliment the manifold, but it�s more than just an oversized version of the

stocker, with improvements in blade thickness and pivot placement, as well as a heavy-duty linkage.

Enough! Time to install the parts!

With FSC Technical Editor Jake Amatisto behind the wheel, the LS-Wonder showed up at the back of our shop, eager for some thrashing. This Camaro is no trailer queen and sees a lot of driving on the street. One thing that makes the LS-Wonder a great project is it really hauls ass, and it does it with parts that can easily be put on in the garage. Before the install, we put the LS-Wonder on the Dynojet to see what it was putting down. It pumped a cool 309 horsepower and 296 lb/ft with the stock intake manifold.

Baseline testing delivered 309 horsepower and 296 pound-feet to the wheels with the stock manifold and throttle body.

The one thing the Camaro doesn�t have going for it is the fact that virtually half the engine is under the dash, which doesn�t make this installation all that quick. The first tasks started at the front, removing the pipe to the airbox, the two bolts that hold the Idle Air Control tube in, the throttle cable, and the coolant lines off the throttle body.

From there we moved to removing the components off the back of the intake. The injector plugs that were easy to get to, except for the last one on the drivers side. A little cussing and some contorted arm movements later, and it was off. One of the last steps before loosening the intake bolts was removing the fuel lines. Grabbing the stock lock fitting with a pair of needle nose pliers seemed like the easiest route to take. With some patience and a little wiggling, the stock intake was free.

Ah, the pleasures of working on a 4th Gen Camaro! It�s handy to keep a little guy like FSC Tech Editor Jake Amatisto in

the toolbox for situations like this.

Though the intake came equipped with some sweet Wilson fuel rails, we weren�t set up to take advantage of them yet and transferred the stock rails and injectors to the new intake manifold. We also installed a new set of intake port seals from FAST. Before you can bolt the intake down, you must replace the stock valley pan bolts with the corrosion-resistant stainless fasteners that are supplied in the kit.

The stock bolt heads are a bit too tall, and if they are not changed, it could lead to sealing issues. Now do it was time to do the same things we did to remove the intake, but backwards. One thing you have to pay attention to when installing this intake is the fragile oil pressure-sending unit. One little tap when we mocked the intake up snapped it like a twig. A new one is about 70 bucks, so don�t be like us and watch out for this.

A little patience is required, but the removal and replacement process holds no surprises.

Time for the Dyno with our New Goodies

With the intake installed it was time to get the LS-Wonder back on the rollers and see what we could pick up. We were stoked when the FAST intake netted a gain of 21 horsepower and over 7 lb/ft of torque, for a new total of 330 horsepower and 303 lb/ft of torque. We did have to adjust the tune with the Diablosport software, but that was hardly responsible for the power gains. That was the act of optimizing the air/fuel ratio and timing curve for the V/E differences in the intake manifold.

Eventually, the Camaro will receive a built engine that will really utilize the power capability of this intake. With a few scratches on the arms and a half-day�s work, we were able to rig one of the last power adders the Camaro needed before it is ready to make some serious horsepower. We'll hopefully soon bring you some track results from our local 1/8 mile at Irwindale.

With the new manifold and throttle body installed, we found an extra 21 horses and 7 pound-feet on the dyno.

GMHTP Takes A Closer Look At The New FAST LSXR Intake Manifold & RHS LS Race Block

CPG Marketing — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:12:08 GMT

GM High Tech Performance Magazine Gets Up Close With Two New Ground Breaking LS Performance Products

With the GM LS7 and all other aftermarket blocks (including competing options such as resleeved factory blocks) set as the benchmarks for improvement, RHS engineers successfully designed a block strong enough to support 2,500 hp (given a skilled builder who incorporates plenty of other high-quality components in the engine, of course). That's a whole heck of a lot for an aluminum block, and it all starts with the company's selection of an A357-T6 aluminum alloy that gets subjected to a unique solidification and cooling process, including chilling of the main bearing bulkheads for added strength. After casting is complete, the block is CNC-machined, and here the same CAD tactic of "dynamic sectioning" that ensured adequate wall thickness during design of the block also helps achieve maximum precision during machining.
