I own both and, unfortunately, it takes more than a couple mods for a FiST to beat a FoST (with some caveats).
It's ironic scooter mentioned that. I'm gonna post my build thread in a few weeks and it will basically be the same premise; making my FiST > my FoST. You can't really base the two vehicles speeds on what you read in magazines. I think MT said a FoST runs a 14.5 and a FiST 15.1 in the quarter. This would seem to indicate the FiST only needs a few mods to beat a FoST. This might be true from a dig because it is pretty hard to get a good launch in my FoST; it spins A LOT. From a roll though, 20-90,..... our FoST (with my wife driving) STOMPED our FiST by multiple car lengths and it was still pulling. I'm stage 1 now and the FoST still pulls away fairly easily. I'm waiting until we move to Ohio and then I'm gonna get a custom 93 tune and we'll see what happens.
So to answer the initial question; I too am trying to make my FiST > FoST
