Hogan intake for my LS2

[rich-allen]

Need some opinions on this intake VS a FAST intake setup.
Ayone pictures of one ontop of an LS2 would be great too.
If this was a blower setup it would be a no brainer.

Thanks,

Rich

It dont get any more expensive.

I have never heard anything bad about the FAST Stuff

Actually, it can... try an HRE intake with billet CNC'd runners. :wow:

Yesterday I took my engine to Ben Watsons race shop. They were trying to talk me into running a Hogan intake. They had five Hogans and three or more HRE's in the stock room (none of which would fit my motor).
After spending an hour in a NHRA pro stock drivers shop you start thinking all kinds of stupid expensive thoughts.

I might decide to go this route if I could find someone that could tune the car for me. I live in SF Bay Area and will flat bed the car to somewhere close.

Any more thought or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

If this is going on a stock cubed LS2, fast will be hard to beat. The sheetmetal looks killer but driveablity will suffer greatly. That manifold begs for as many rpm as you can throw at it.

A really good compromise is a Wilson Billett. Stays even with a fast at lower rpms and pulls away up top. Looks pretty sweet also.. Just my $.02 Good luck!!

Having followed dyno results of hundreds of combos on LS1tech and Corvetteforum, I would agree that for max power over the 3500-6800 RPM range, the FAST is very hard to beat on the smaller displacement normally aspirated LSx motors. Wilson had the luxury of investing big engineering time to do CFD and other analysis, and then optimize the runner shapes in injection molded plastic, so it shouldn't be surprising that it works so well. Some porters - Tony Mamo of AFR, for instance - will lightly port the FAST and get a few to 10 or so more HP out of it, if you want to spend some bucks chasing the last bit of power. And if you want to spend $3K for maybe the ultimate single throttle street intake, the same Wilson guys who designed the FAST will sell you the Wilson Billet intake Stangs Bane mentions.

The sheet metal intakes are often compromised by not having sufficient hood room to allow long enough runners for a street engine. The result is better power at very high RPM - say, 6500 and up - but serious damage to the midrange torque bump that makes these motors feel bigger than their cubes.

But the Hogan sure looks nice, and will very likely work better in forced induction applications than the LS6 or FAST intakes.

I bought the Wilson fast intake and TB. Ben Watson said he would have to port match either the Hogan or FAST unit anyway and this leaves a couple thousand in my wallet for extras.


Thanks for all the advice, :hail:
