Anything I need to know to look for?

Apparently all it comes with are the screws for the valley pan. What else am I going to need to buy?

Don't think it will, but for the time being will my stock TB work? Assuming I will need to buy a new one for the intake once I get a few more bucks.

Thanks

Your TB will work if you are buying a 78mm FAST, but I doubt you are. You will want to get something to match up properly with that intake being a 90/92/102mm, or whatever it is since you didn't state. Make sure you do replace those valley bolts because the stockers will crack the bottom shell of the intake when you go to bolt it down.

Yea it's a 90mm PN: 54003 is what I've been told it is.

Currently going to be putting it on my LS1. If I am thinking about next year buying a new engine, will this intake work on any LSX type engine?

Yeah it should. The only thing though is they will probably have a 112mm by that point and 90mm will end up being considered a chokehold somehow. But yes, it will work. I dont feel like I would need to run a street car with a TB that I could put my leg through.

Cool. Good to know.

What about coolant pipes and gaskets? Where is a good place to get that stuff?

I still find it hilarious that even when we spend a grand on a new FAST intake ... we still have to either pay or spend time porting the ******* thing to utilize its full capacity......it makes no sense.

Ditto. It always seems like that lil extra mile should be included with something that is so steeply priced to begin with. . .

i plan on buying a fast intake soon as well i am just wondering if they come with or without egr??

garygnu

you can use egr on a fast intake,need to cut out the hole on top of the intake opening.check if state emissions require a egr,if not have frost delete it,no cutting into the intake.to port a fast intake use a dremile tool with the right bits.bbk intakes can be better ported ,removable bottom plate.but any alum. intake suffers from heat soak.

bmaffin13

I've all ready programmed out the EGR system and plugged my current holes, so I'm not too worried about that.

Anyone have any more info/reviews of that other intake vs a fast?

Planning on purchasing a 402 or bigger next year. Wanted to do it now, but I don't have 10k sitting around to do it all up properly. Figure I may as well get some supporting mods outta the way first.

Still curious on the coolant pipes and gaskets. Anyone got an info on those things?

Thx

Block offs on the back of the heads then a crossover on the front. On the front crossover the line that goes to the throttle body needs to be re routed to go directly to the radiator. The fitting on the crossover is a different size than the fitting on the radiator. I went to the parts store and got a length of tube for the size of the smallest fitting and just squeezed it on to the bigger end.

hard to see here, i can get a better pic tomorrow

fast will work better on bigger motors.will not cost too much for bigger more cube motor$3000-4000 for great shortblock.use ls6 coolant tubes for front and back ,run coolant connecting hose over or around the intake.or tap back head coolant holes for AN fittings and lines.LS6 intakes are good for 475 hp rwhp.

bmaffin13

Cool, thanks for the pics. They have it on TSP's site as a kit for like 60 bucks, I was just curious if I needed to get the kit or if I could rig it up myself.

If you can get some more pics of everything that would help a lot.

Thanks man

the coolant line for autozone ran me 6 bucks i think

garygnu

if you still have the the LS1 coolant lines,use a plastic mallet and a piece of wood ,and carefully smush down the coolant lines a little bit to fit under the fast intake.

Here is a better picture - Goodyear 5/16'' transmission cooler hose, on the vent tube it is slightly loose so make sure you tighten down with the hose clamp.

fast 90mm is for LS1/2/6 head.will not match too good to LS3 head.
