90mm with 90mm TB. Should work fine. I'm more concerned about the TB than anything else. It's had a few bugs.

It should.

Along with some QTP High Velocity Merge Collector Long Tube Headers, my intake and exhaust bolt-ons will be completely new:

Old:
MTI Lid
Stock MAF
Ported TB
LS6 intake
SLP LTs
3" X-pipe dumped at the axle

New:
SLP 85mm lid
Z06 MAF
FAST 90mm TB
FAST LSX 90mm Intake
QTP HVM LTs
QTP Dual Electric Cutout Y-pipe w/ 4" Merge
SLP 2 Out The Left Catback

On the exhaust side, I needed to gain some ground clearance and quiet the car down considerably. I'll be happy to see a 20hp gain with all of the above, but reality will unveil the gains in the near future.

I have a FAST TB as well and no problems. I heard the TPIS 90mm ones have problems though.

Enjoy, I think you should net a nice gain, and good choice with the 90mm. I think the 78mm is a joke, I know someone that lost 12rwhp from LS6 to FAST 78mm. It could be different temps and what not from the dyno before (6 months ago) to after (like last week), but I still would think there would be a gain or close to same, not lose any.




Peace,
Craig.

[QUOTE=King02SS]Really I heard it was pretty good for a N/A setup?[/QUOTE]
I'm hearing that they are made extremely cheaply. I've been approached actually about manufacturing a manifold along those lines. I work for a auto supplier to the OEM's. We could make it no problemo...no money in it though.

Anyway Carlos, I hope it works out for you. Post up the result...in the right forum! **cough cough Gray**

UNIT, I've been as skeptical as the rest about the FAST intakes. I've been reading decent things about the 90mm though. So as I had to redo my exhaust, I went ahead and redid the intake also- HPE was offering an awesome Group Purchase that I couldn't pass up. Gray hooked me up.

Definitely! What the hell are you waiting for? Nitrous will be my first mod on every car from here on out.

The good ole SLP 2OTL. Most underrated F-Body catback ever. Us LT1 guys are very familiar with it.

Yeah, nitrous is next.
Actually, I'm enrolling my car in some roadcourse events, so suspension may sidetrack the spray.

Jon, 2OTL kicks ***. My X-pipe bottoms out in the driveway of a house I'm moving into, so I need to gain some clearance (low-hung SLP LT's to blame also). The neighborhood also has noise ordinances. If it wasn't for this new house, I'd keep the existing setup.

I love the sound of the 2otl. I'll definitely be using one on my next LT1. It's the best catback that nobody uses, pretty much because it looks ugly as hell . But it's a damn good catback to have on a sleeper car.
