FAST 90 vs 92 intake

has anybody compared the 2 and seen any difference? I have a FAST 90 now but can get a good deal on a 92mm and I was wondering if its even Worth the time to change them out.
Thanks,

Worth the time, yes. Worth the $, probably not. I doubt you will see many people changing them out.

No personal experience, but I doubt there will be enough gain to make it worth the money.

i dont think there would be substantial performance increases. I thought the main thing people are harping on are the seals and other more dependable build in the 92mm version.

90/90's are only worth about 900 and the 92 is 850 new +tb so its just if u want to waste the money for a few extra unless ur gonna have it opened up to 95mm or 100mm

I have a ported 90/90, and i wouldn't consider the switching. I would have to pay to have it ported again plus the additional cost.

You could just order the upper shell... (i believe thats where all the changes are anyways) Plus I dont believe that is touched in the porting.

The choke in a FAST intake is not in the throttle neck, but in the port runners. Going from 90 to 92mm on the throttle neck does not gain power. The 92 is a nicer intake though. Better fasteners.

I have heard the 92 is the exact same as the 90 size wise on the throat. It is just called the 92 since it is a second generation with a few improvements. That is the only way they would be able to tell the differences was calling it a 92. Stick with your 90.

I would keep your Fast 90mm intake. I don't think its worth the trouble over the 92mm intake even for a $100.
