I was surprised by this bolt on car, gains. It was over a stock LS2 intake, and ported stock TB. I've seen gains as little as 4whp over a LS3 intake ported at the shop, to a 102mm FAST (PN-146102, LS3/L76/L92/L99). On a G8GT with bolt-ons, NEP cam and ported heads, making almost 500whp.

very impressive makes me want to do the fast 102 with my new head setup so bad

Wow, that's pretty good for a bolt-on car, that's only about 10-15rwhp shy from what my Dad's LS2 made with the stock intake, blower cam and full bolt-on's

Ya I just saw newera put that on there FB page. Im been thinking about getting a 102 for a while, but want to get a holley tunnel ram thing too but they jkeep getting pushed back. And ther not in the WCF all motor rules I can run it too.
Ive ask Mike@ newera how the 102s have been doing for gains, and he said its been like the fast 90 and 92, some cars gain more. But you always hear shops, and guys posting up big gains. Most are normal 10whp airn't gona post about it, same for the heads cam LS1 guys that make less then 470whp. But there out there for sure. I dont know alot about the LS2+ stuff for numbers, Im still messing my my stock LS1junk for getting max numbers. But Notied they said somthing about it being the best bolt on LS2. I know my friend with a super clean 02 SS, the 35Th CE ir whater did like 380whp bolt ons, that car was a feak.
Not everyone gains 20-30whp, and most of them time its a Fast intake, with a electric WP, and a under drive pulley or something that adds up a little too. Andf thsy say was he 20-25whp gain (combined total)

I wish the 102 would have made that much on my cammed G8. It only gained 4rwhp over a ported stock intake and it lost power down low. I sold it and got my money back. It is very odd how different combos either respond really well or really poorly with this intake.

I see your in Va, and have a blue G8GT. So can't be my local buddy I said about, what he gained. But thats crazy you also gained only 4whp over a ported stock LS3.

To be honest i think it's all about the complete combonation with these intakes. I've seen so many different results and comparisons and still really no definative answer either way!? All i know is my Mamofied 102 worked and i am happy with the resuslts

The LS2 intake manifolds are absolute junk. Any time you replace one with a FAST 102, you're going to see some big gains. The LS3/L76 GM intake manifolds are much better and don't show as large of gains when swapping to a FAST. LS2 engines are another story.

Bingo. Thing is that the LS3 intake are really doing great, from what I was told. Its like going from a LS1 to a FAST intake..it will show incredible results everytime! LS6 to FAST is less impressive when you think its going to produce over 30rwhp.

I sent you a PM about this, but just saw here that you're kind of addressing my question, so I'll ask again here so others can benefit. I'm considering power upgrades to an 06 CTS-V that is currently stock. On the table are FAST 102, heads, cam and headers (probably OBX). I plan to do all of it eventually, but only have 2K to spend this year. What will get me the biggest gains and the most driveability (car is a DD that has to be driven by my wife)? From what I've been seeing lately, FAST 102/headers/tune may even be a better way to start out than cam/headers/tune.

Thanks!

I agree I dont see any huge gains going the FAST 102 route. Part of the issue is that the motors are small displacement and for the 102 to work wonders it needs more volume of air to be pulled thru it for there to be large gains. Since the runners are so long low end torque suffers but will produce peak hp.

honestly, I would go, w/ cam headers, ported throttle body. that would probably give u the most gains over n e thing else. or if u can probably swing it a set of ported heads, cam headers and tune. lots of sponsors have good deals on ported heads and cam combo's.
