Nice work Greg, say are you competing with HLN A55 for a sales position with E.C.P

[not2melo]

Yup, what is the commission rate?

I am waiting for the FAST 102 test data from Ron to figure what to buy next

Test data will be awhile yet , but I will post it as soon as it is available.

Hummmmmmm commission eh

Very nice. Good to see a comparison between the different intakes.

Hopefully Manny will get the new tech info from Ron@Vengeance with a comparison of the 90, 92 and new 102mm FAST soon.
He was supposed to be workiing on it over the weekend and we might get finalized soon, would be nice to see what the new
102LSXr will do for us.

Hey Manny does the stock 102LSXr fit under the cowl on a vette or do you still need the Spinmonsters
mod done to it on the back end?

Commission?? That's OK Greg, you can take the commissioned position, I'm on staff!!!

Well for me it really means one true thing... and if I read this right, there is almost 20 RWHP in the swap from an ls-6 to a FAST intake. Now there is potentially more if it's a Fast 102 over a 90 or 92??

GREAT article... thanks Greg

On thr C5's you do not need the mod. The C6 ones that I bring in already come with the mod . Now a modded C6 FAST will also work on a C5 .

I am hoping to talk to Ron tomorrow .

Thx

Here is some other information, food for thought on the differences in power and price, this was originally posted by
the porting master Tony Mamo @ AFR.

If you already have a good epoxied and ported 78 mm TB (like a Mark Shaner piece or something similar)
score a 78 unit cheap and just consider having it ported. Even at the prices I charge to do a very neat
and thorough job your return on investment is still better than buying a larger 85 mm TB and cutting up
the snout which might close the gap in half between the 78 and the 90 netting you 2-3 HP. For an extra
few hundred you would see an additional gain of 10 RWHP and a similar bump in TQ (my ported FAST 78 set-up
went 20 RWHP and 15 RWTQ stronger than my former LS6/78 set-up as I previously mentioned).

For grins I just whipped up this spreadsheet....prices and performance may vary slightly but I think the
general point I am making would still be intact.

Manifold.............Avg Retail $$...........Typical Gain.............Cost/HP

Stk FAST 78..............700........................8...... ............... $87
Stk FAST 90 (w/TB)...1200......................13................ ......$92
FAST 78 w/85 mm.......900......................11.............. ........$82
Ported FAST 78.........1200......................18........... ...........$67
Ported FAST 90/90.....1700......................23............... ......$74

Yes, I think from going with a stock LS6 with TB, to a ported FAST92 with LS2 TB you would see 20+ rwhp when tuned in.
With a 90/90 Tony got 23rwhp, so maybe the 102 might come in with a few HP more, 5 maybe?
If everyone jumps on the new 102LSXr then there will be quite a few 90 and 92's being sold off soon, hopefully cheap.
