Default FAST 90 busted do i need a tune to switch to 102

fast 90 cracked want the car fixed quick so think we will just swap the 102 on until a decision can be made about what intake is next so my question is does the car need to be tuned keep in mind the tuner is 8 hrs from me LMR built the car and only want them to tune it plan on taking the car in the winter and making some changes and retuning thanks in advance.

the car: 416, trick flow 225 heads, aps extreme twin turbo kit with the gt35s on 19psi tuned on c16

FAST intake issues. I wouldnt expect it to brake @19 PSI though

Is this on your C5? Either way a retune will benefit you.

Have you thought about a different intake other than a FAST?

its on a 99 trans am was wanting car fixed this week with out having to change alot 102 is our only option for a quick fix thinking of taking it to hinson supercars for a quick retune anyone have any experience with them.
eventually want to explore options for best intake without cutting and do some other work on the car but want to wait until there are not so many races going on to have some down time on the car

1000 dollar overpriced piece of crap, op sorry that happened, slap the 102 on it as long as the Air fuel gauge is okay you should be fine. It wont be optimal but the car should run.

Most people are running LS6 intakes as they are a lot tougher and will pull to 7K don't really see the need for the fast intakes with FI. Just about anything other than OEM intakes will require some cutting of the cowl, You can get away with a Victor Jr, and a tight radius elbow and keep the windshield wipers.

LS6 intake is what I run. Zero issues and my car makes good power as well.

Victor Jr, 4bbl Accufab thrrottle, carb hat. Need to trim the cowl a touch, but retains the wipers, and will fit under a flat hood.
