FAST intakes for LS1s???

[Eagle]

I hear the 92/92s are all but gone... FOREVER. Seems FAST is moving to the 102 platform. I'm not sure it makes sense to put such a large intake on stock cubes... even though their site says it'll make another 16whp over stock on stock cubes.

Anyone heard of results on this beast yet?

A few months ago this wasn't even available for the LS1 platform.

I'm sure the prices on the 92/92 stuff will go down some now.

FAST prices NEVERRRRR go down!

The 102 does not fit with the stock heads you need the L92 heads

 

[modern-muscle]

here is a better answer, Mast Motorsports makes a small bore head that will fit the LS1, I dont think the L92 clears, i think you need a 4" bore, but then you will be able to use the 102 but those heads are crazy expensive!

can a standard ls6 intake be ported to flow as well/better than a 92? could be a cheaper alternative than going up to a 102 if it can..

When I was looking at this FAST stuff a few months ago they only had this 102mm for the L92/LS3/LS7.

Look at this page on their site, it looks like they're available for LS1 style now.

I have a feeling the answer to that is no. If guys could take their $300 LS6 intakes and get that much more power then there wouldn't be much of a market for this FAST stuff. People go crazy trying to get their hands on used pieces.

On stock cubes, I really thing a 102 is too big a throttle body. Its going to run poorly at part throttle IMO. The TB wont have to be open all of the way even to support what airflow the engine needs. You can still use a 90/92mm throttle body on that intake you know.

Any of the FAST intakes are definitely better than their stock counterparts. But is it $1000 better, once you toss in the cost of fuel rails and whatever else you need to install it?

Quite pricey...plus the unlucky c5 owners with electronic throttle bodys have to pony up another 590 for a Nick Williams 92/102mm tb. If I could I would like to slap one on and see what kind of power/trq difference from my fast 90.

No, the stock can't be ported to flow as well.

 

[IDAFC21]

didnt think so. you can still see some decent gains, but i guess you gotta fork out those $$$ if you want the best

 

[Eagle]

Yea, ported LS6 can't even match the flow of the 92 let alone the 102...

 

[Gundlach9]

I read that gains in swapping from a 92 to a 102 were in the 5-7hp range, and ported 92s were even closer for LS1s.

 

[skeezer]

port a 102

 

[bluzohh6]

dan you have a BIG turbo. I think the Fast intake no matter the Size will be a benefit

I don't care about dates.

 

[Mook]

i doubt dan is looking into intakes anymore

 

[bluzohh6]

He should be if hes still running the stock ls6

 

[Yaj Yak]

uh why. there are plenty of other areas to pick up hp before that intake is a problem in his application im betting.

 

[bluzohh6]

UHHHH like where?

 

[DanJ]

Muffler bearings.

blinker fluid!

Your blinker fluid is toast.
