Modified LSX-powered trucks are all the rage these days, and with companies like FAST onboard with making the hardware guys (and gals) like us need, they’re more than happy to fill a niche that others might not be able to.
Enter their LSXRT injection molded intake manifold – it’s perfect for cathedral-port headed 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L GEN-III engines requiring increased airflow, maximum horsepower & torque, and the provisions for nitrous!
LSXRT Injection Molded Polymer Intake
Cathedral-Port Head Equipped Applications
Designed specifically for GM 4.8/5.3/6.0L cathedral port cylinder head-equipped truck engines and cathedral port LS1, -2, -6 applications where hood clearance is not a concern, the FAST LSXRT 102mm Intake Manifold follows the path chartered by the original FAST LSX Gen III Intake by featuring a modular design that allows for easy porting and disassembly and a runner design that yields an incredible 25 peak horsepower gain over the stock intake, on a stock 6.0L engine with a Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body. Extensive testing led to a runner design that is longer and less restrictive and gives the user the ability to remove individual runners from the manifold for modification.
The LSXRT is constructed from a proprietary precision injection molded polymer which offers many benefits, including lighter weight, greater strength and lower heat soak propensity. While it features a 102mm air inlet that was designed for the FAST Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body, it can also be used with OEM electronic 78/90mm or aftermarket 90/92mm throttle bodies (three-bolt electronic throttle bodies require an adapter). Other features include integrated nitrous bungs and a precise bolt-on fit that permits the use of factory accessories and OEM fuel/emission connections without adjustments or clearance issues.
Features:
- 25 HP gain when used w/ 102mm Big Mouth Throttle Body on a stock 6.0L truck engine
- Constructed from proprietary precision injection molded polymer; Lighter than aluminum w/ lower heat soak propensity & greater strength over stock molded intake
- Innovative multi-layer design w/ removable runners for quick & easy disassembly & porting
- Integrated nitrous bungs; plug-and-play w/ ZEX LSX Direct Port Nitrous System
