I actually think I'm going to go with a mamofied 92mm.. I effed up and bought some FAST rails and then found out the next day they wouldn't work, go figure.
I could sell them easily but I just don't feel like going through the hassle.
I can get a used FAST 92/92 for cheap... And letting Tony port them it will outflow the stock 102 easily..

Ahhh... Few Rwhp... Nothing to cry over, not for the money that is for sure.
I'm not building a max effort car. 15Rwhp, I would care about... Especially for 3-400$ or so.. But this intake will work fine + some with my setup. They will go perfect with a set of mamofied AFRs..

Since I decided to just do a mamofied 92 I'm going to buy used and let him do his work on it.
Money really isn't an issue with it, but it is always nice to save a few bucks. I honestly don't think I need the 102. It will only be a few RWHP difference and I don't think I will need that right now.
If I get the mamofied 92 setup and don't like it.. I can always sell for a very very small loss.. People always are wanting Tonys stuff.
Now for runners, think individual runner intake (super expensive). The power they make and where is determined by the taper and length of the stacks you put on them. So there is and IR setup inside the intake, longer = torquier but loose power at high RPM... shorter = high RPM power and loss of torque down low. This is what determines too big or too small.

Isn't that the runners on the 92 are not replaceable and the runners on the 102 are? That's what I was told not positive though, I have a 102 and know you can change them, but have never seen a 92 off the car in my hands
Lastests posts Ive been reading by Tony is that the new 102 is better than the older FAST models because the runners have been designed differently and apparently are running a lot better on these LSx engine now. He was commenting how they dont need much work at all and its mostly in the openings, etc where he works them because the runners themselves have good shape out the box. Im sure if you searched, the thread would come up with his talking about new 102mm FAST, I think in the intake comparison thread. Thats why people are switching, a little more power across the board is seen on a decent sized motor (408/416 or at least a 346 with H/C/Bolt0ns).
I was curious too because I thought when is it going to end?!?! When is bigger going to NOT be better because there has to be a cutoff and I thought from 76 to 102mm, thats a big leap on a 346 but I guess if its built up enough, you will see the gains and not just up top.

Bought a 95mm PTM TB the other day. Saving a few more pennies and going to try to find a 92mm and get Tony to work his magic. If I come across a good deal on a 102mm I might just ****** it, but then I have to sell my rails.
other than that, a fast 102 will work fine on a stock 346 engine.

I am not really concerned with the tuning side, my tuner is more than capable.
With that said.. I decided to go ported102 (already on).. And just ordered my 92 FAST TB..

Please update us with numbers / SOTP feel. Did you do a vengeance racing ported FAST 102 ? They have them for 999 shipped I believe. I'm buying one when funds allow.
a 90/90 or even a ported/polished TB on a LS6 intake will handle what you're into.
Alot of people will say it's not enough, but an LS6 is a great intake on stock cube and even up to 377, LOOK AT YOUR CAM, it's low to mid range, it's not a peak 7k rpm cam, it's more so in the 2500-5500 range, you won't need the flow of the larger intake, stick to a smaller 215 to 225 runner on the heads and you'll be fine, take a look at the trick flow as cast 220 cc or the 215's... they're produceing some good numbers.
I'm planning to run a 228r cam, TEA LS6 stage 2 heads, ls6 intake, kooks headers, borla cat back, circle-d pro-I 32-3400 stall, I currently have a Jantzer TB that is forsale, if it doesn't sell I'm going to use it, if it does I'm going with a Shanner S2 TB... similar setups and even exact set ups are putting down from 425-460 rwhp.
I've done alot or research on this set up, still working on my foundation; converter & 9" are installed, heads are here, just have to scrape the money up for the cam/headers/gaskets/small parts.
