Fast 102 Results Dissapointed
Damn I wish I had the extra money for that 102 intake now.
.460 rwhp is very impressive with a mild cam and 243 heads,man. I guess the 102 Intake helps out big time with the right combo put together.
Any track times with this set up ?

Charlie Williams at RPM Motors in Santa Clarita did them. He does all lsx stuff out here. I don't have any track times yet, still need better tires and beef up the drivetrain some before I feel confident taking it down the track and not breaking something. http://rpm-motors-inc.com/

On a C5 we did at work with heads and cam I picked up a full 20RWHP and over 20ft lbs of torque. We did a 102 intake with a 90mm throttle body though for cost reasons. You've gotta need the extra airflow. As you add mods you'll be glad you bought the intake though. You only bought it earlier than needed is all.
It sure is nice to see the results backed up with dyno and then track times, but since we are talking about an engine (air pump), making the intake bigger, but leaving the heads cramped (stock) or exhaust cramped, or even MAF or TB...all those things will take away and minimize any gains. To maximize a part, the setup as a whole has to be constructed to take advantage of it. With ported heads, better headers, etc you will start to realize those FAST 102 gains...the nicer the heads and nicer the headers (the greater the gains you will see). But no matter what the parts, they need to be spec'd to work properly together.

Keep your head up, it'll come around with a good set of heads I bet. The PRC 227 heads would be a great option for this car. I fully expect you could easily gain 50rwhp with a set. Not to mention they're $200 off next week!

yep that is def a next upgrade in the mean time ill just do like all the import guys do and say well it did pull alot harder and it feels like it traps higher. Feels pretty good on a butt dyno. LOL
Ill update when I get some heads.

Again, incorrect/irrelevant. The runners inside the plenum create velocity and flow to the cylinder head. The throttle body opening is simply an air leak and its only job is to keep air in the plenum for the runners to consume. I honestly steer everyone to the 92mm TB myself. Heck I run a 90mm TB on my 102mm.
You guys are supposed to be the knowlegable ones on this forum?!?!?!? I see a bunch of smart people that either are looking at bad data and believing it or simply dont have enough experience with the part being talked about. Any moron can get three pulls for $50 and get the crappiest data ever. By a dyno operator that has no clue or doesnt care about getting good data. They care about taking your money and then getting you out the door quickly. The FAST picked up my vehicle 21rwhp with my stock LQ9 (190s/200s @ .050.460/.470 lift) stock exhuast manifolds and all.

What most people fail to realize is that even though the 102 is a bit much for a stock cubed LS motor, is that it will out perform any other intake (LS6, BBK, other FASTs) and that the more you modify the more it will gain. I look at it as running 3 inch true duals. Yes you wont see much of a gain at the bolt on stage but add heads and a cam and you will be glad you did it.
