Concerns about fast intakes?
Debating if i should purchase a fast 92? Yes i know their expensive and supposedly u gain 25hp but i heard people only REALLY get about 13 to 14 that's bogus to pay so much and gain that kinda hp i honestly think your just paying for the brand but if it really gives u more i will be convinced to purchase one. Just asking is it really worth getting??

I gained 20 rwhp over my LS6 but I already had H/C. This was also on the same dyno. I ported the snot out of it and even port matched it to my heads. This was with an FTP lid and 4" bellows on a 92/92. To get the most out of it you can't forget about everything in front on the intake.

"Worth" is Subjective....
IMHO, Yes a lot of the cost is in the brand name, partially because they have the market (Who else has a plastic performance proven intake??) and you're paying for the R&D that went into it's design and patent. I heard over a $million went into the FAST102 design. Lastly...Supply and demand. A lot of people want these intakes, so they charge as much as the consumer is willing to spend (basic economics). Tons of people buy them at $800 so why charge less?
It cost money to go fast, especially in the modern engine department.
The FAST intake may only gain xx horsepower, but the deal is all the mods added together is where its at. The 5hp there, 10 horsepower here, another 7hp there...it all adds up and the mods compliment each other to perform at their full potential. You will mostly like see more gains going FAST 92 on a ported head engine than you would on an engine with stock heads. Having been down the journey I have, I rather have a large cubic engine with stock components than adding a bunch of bolt-ons to a smaller one. It works, but cost so much more money.

I have a stock ls1, I got some 799 heads that I'm going to get them stage 2 ported and mild cam 232/236 597 lift tsp long tube headers x pipe exhaust 4.10 gears and the fast 92 if i purchase it? So I'm assuming that with this setup the fast 92 be a choice to go with or should i get a 102 fast would that be much better for my setup or a 92?

You need:
LS2 fuel Rail
Spacer kit from CBM to lift the rail up (If you want to run LS1 injectors)
LS3 Coolant crossover tube
92 or 102 Throttle body (I run a 92mm).
I didn't have to grind my pump at all.

Alright well thanks for the info learned something, but a fast 102 seems to big to run for my setup??? I'm doing a stage 2.5 port on my 799 heads and a mild cam 232/236 597 lift or is it a good idea to run a 102 or a 92? Just asking?
