LS2 intake results on a cam only Vette. 1999 FRC Vette.
Custom cam
headers
Ls6 intake
Z06 exhaust.
370 RWHP
365 RWTQ
After a LS2 intake, and LS2 90mm TB and tuning.
380 RWHP
370 RWTQ
All for the price of just the FAST intake.

Has anyone tested the flow on the LS2 MAN + TB vs the FAST 90mm parts? Since the LS2 stuff is less expensive it is quite attractive, but I am looking for maximum gains and would be willing to pay the extra for the FAST if it makes more power
i had heard that that volume of this intake was killing the lowend tq and even hurting hp on cam/heads ls1's... would like to know if maybe u did anything different that may have helped your car do better, they were all saying in the ls2/ls7 section that maybe this intake was for 374 ci and bigger ls1's. congrats!
and people told me I was wasting my time installing a dp system on my ls2

I question how much of the gains you saw simply came from the tuning?
If this was a true intake/TB test, it should have been tuned before the swap and after the swap for a more "scientific" comparison. I understand that you were more concerned with the final results and I'm not looking to be a "neg" here or anything, just calling it the way I see it.
Most of the other LS2 intake tests (which were more aimed at actually testing the intakes) have showed less than stellar results. Also, the move to a larger MAF would have given the LS2 combo another edge.
Bottom line, I think the jury is still out on this intake. Time permitting, I might have a chance to test it when I finally get to the dyno with the 62 cc 225's. I will share my results of that testing assuming I can make it happen.

what he said 
This is my car this was done through stock Maf unported with screen. The car was already tunned. With the ls6 tune it picked up 8 rwhp more then the ls6 and the A/F dropped around .3 to 12.7. Mike brought the A/F back up the 13.0 and gained 2 more rear wheel horse power. With the ls6 intake the car's A/F was 13.0, This shows that the ls2 intake is better then the ls6. I am glad that I didnt waste my money on the stupid looking Fast intake.
