Default Just bought my FAST 90 intake,now is there...

I will be installing it my self. So is there some kind of special way to put them together? Is there anything special or other hardware that I will need to purchase before I throw it on? Any advice to give me will be greatly appreciated!

Also what Throttle body are you guyz recommending?
Nick williams or P.T.M.?

Thanks

^^Those are included with the intake... Both tb's are a good choice & I would just remove the top half of the manifold to make sure all seals are aligned properly... Also be easy when bolting on the tb, it doesn't take much or you risk breaking off the tabs.

i just did mine week-before-last. it comes with everything you need and instructions pay special attention to your oil sending unit, it's easy to break off. there's a paragraph about in your instructions, but it bears repeating.

Would be a good time to upgrade to some good hardware if you're interested. The bolts provided by FAST don't hold up too well and will rust with time.

Not a major problem, just a small annoyance to have rusty hardware on your good looking intake.

Good luck!
