Default What would an intake gain me? sorry :-)

It's probably in the 30whp area but I'm just curious what others would guess.

Setup:
Fresh SBE LS1
Mamo 220's 60cc
225/227 .612/.614 114+3
Johnson 2110 SLR's
Manton 11/32" Series 4 PR's
Shimmed YT ultras 1.7
LT 1-3/4" headers
Dual Magna 3" cats
Dual 3" to 3.5" merge
3.5" catback custom with SS hooker aero muffler
ATI 10% UD
90mm Holley TB
Running SD
4.10 IRS
18x10.5 CCW's with 285/30-18 R888's

T-56
Monster Lightened LT1-S

SCR is about 11.56:1
DCR around 8.95:1
Quench at .032"
93 Oct and about 31* timing and not a sign of knock.

And the worst part.....LS2 intake....I ran out of fundage. :-) I know the LS2 is more or less between the LS1 and LS6 but I picked it up for stupid cheap.

Right now the car feels fantastic down low. Up to about 5000 it feels great. Falls a bit flat after that. I'm sure it's the intake but you never know.

Logistically the FAST 92 would fit best. I know a FAST 102 will just but I'd have to build a custom strut tower bar. Whichever I go with they'll be ported by Tony. I'm also rather attached to the Holley TB. Tuning it was a breeze and it's smooth as silk in the pedal. I've had other TB's that just felt terrible. The Holley has the low TPS % hump too. I'd probably consider running the CBM adapter for the FAST 102 before actually stepping up to a 102mm TB.

Just realized this should be in the bench racing section. Mods please move it at your earliest convenience.

MAMOFIED FAST 102 (30-35) RWHP @ Peak 6000+RPM
MAMOFIED FAST 92 (25-30) RWHP. ". "
Both will fatten up the torque band 2500-5500 RPM
Significantly, 20+ lb ft, and sharpen throttle response
Considerably!

I was checking out the 20 intake comparo earlier. The FAST 102 added quite a bit more torq down low than I was expecting too.

I know the headers are a bit off from ideal but they cause enough ground clearance issues as it is and the car isn't even lowered.

If you don't mind having to grind on the water pump and deal with a few other odds and ends, go with the FAST 102mm setup. You already have a really good combo and it's begging for an intake to match.

A 102 will be worth a few more hp over the 92. Either would be a big gain over the ls2

When you are ready, just contact Tony. I believe he has posted more then once that he has new ported intakes in stock that are ready to ship out with zero wait time.
