Default FAST 90/90 or FAST 92/92

I will be doing shortly a TSP PRC 2.5 5.3 setup on my LS1, with 150 shot in mind. What intake would be better? 90/90 or 92/92, and why did FAST just up it two mm?

The 92 was just a revision, the extra 2mm does really nothing but they have now stainess hardware and other things. I would do a search

from what I've seen the shops say on here they no longer make the 90 intake so u might be hard pressed to find one. just get the 92 and like stated above there isn't much of a difference, juse 2mm more of an opening.

The latest GM high performance mag claims gains of 5% increased airflow between the 92mm over the 90mm fast throttle body.

Really? I though there was no difference.

Dont think Fast makes the 90/90 any more, All 92s now

Check craigslist/ebay for ppl selling those things, get killer deals compared to what they went for new.

The 2mm does not make a big difference. The big thins is the stainless hardware. No more rusting within 2 weeks. Also the TB gasket is better. The biggest improvement is the MAF sensor hole is the right size now.

If you plan on Porting them, dont buy used ones.

Get one from Vengence. I would not get one if it was not ported by some one with a reputation for porting them.

+1 to Ron. Don't forget about Tony Mamo though. Both gentlemen do one hell of a job.

the larger it gets the more area it gets . looking at area and if my math is right a circle is pie x radius squared . so 90mm tb would be 6358.5 a 92 would be 6644.24 . if you go back to look at a 91mm it would be close to 6500.59 . so 90 to 91 is an increase of roughly 142 . the increase from 91 to 92 is a little more than that being 143.65 .

so this means since it it just two more mm it is not equal to the difference of the increase of one at a time . every mm adds that and then some even though it might not be a whole lot more .

^ Think of the TB size this way, PatG was still pulling vacuum at WOT on one of his setups... The restriction is the TB size.. The CARB guys go instant 0 vacuum at WOT.. think of the opening size difference. It's basically a metered orifice, or a restricted opening. Lets try to eliminate as much loss as possible. I think if they did a slightly bigger TB/Intake design, they could get pretty close to 0 vacuum @ WOT.. As if the 90/90 isn't big ENOUGH, tho..


On a side note; The price on the FAST 90/90's came WAY down!! :shock: I'm thinking of getting one for the H/C swap this month..


Quick Reply: FAST 90/90 or FAST 92/92
