Quick ?, how complicated is the installation of a 92/92 Fast intake and Tb? Purchased set about a year ago for my 01 Camaro ss and never got around to it. Thanks in advance for the help.

It is pretty straight forward, I followed the steps on LS1howto for the intake manifold swap. I already had the LS6 coolant lines when I installed my fast.
I ordered the nw tb, so I ended up having to do the tb bypass as well.
oh and I freaked out when I put the FAST on because it wasn't sitting correctly, and I had used the fast bolts, so it wasn't that. Turns out it was hitting the front coolant line, just had to bend it down alittle by applying some pressure and everything was fine. If you do a search, you can see several ppl had to do this.

Any major difference in the ls6 coolant lines, as far as running cooler?

Running cooler compared to the LS1 lines? Not that I know of, I had an LS6 intake on it previously, thats why I had the LS6 coolant lines.
You can get away with LS1 coolants on an LS6 intake (by grinding the tabs on the bottom of the intake), but a FAST intake requires the LS6 coolant lines because it sits closer to the valley cover and you will not have room for the LS1 style.
Also while you have the intake off, you might as well do the LS6 PCV conversion too (under $100), just make sure to get the +04 valley cover with the built in PCV valve. (write up on ls1howto as well, but it lists the older p/n, which requires you to keep the original PCV valve). The newer style just lets you have a more clean look. I was not going to do this, but when I removed my intake, it was coated in oil...so I had to remove the intake twice to do this mod since I did not want to wait another wk before testing the new intake out.
