fast 102 is best

my personal opinion, save and buy a FAST intake.

however, i have heard nothing bad about the PP Typhoon intake.

I'm sure the fast intake has better performance but I don't want a plastic intake. I've seen two of them with nos with the back blown out of them.

the new 102 has burst pannels built in on the bottom for that reason alone.

And they were optional on the older Fast intakes, but most people didn't use them.

true^^^

however, i feel a safe nitrous tune and setup, and you shouldnt have any problems.

so the fast 102 works on LS1? i was told its only for gen IV LSx

there is 2 versions, one for rectangular port heads, and one for cathedral port heads.

the 102 fast intake i think is for bigger C.I. a 90 or 92 will be more than enough for 347 C.I. A aluminum intake will get a lot hotter than a plastic intake and will heat the air going in and lose power!! it was on a book a read

incorrect...

the 102 is no different than the 78/90/92 except for the TB opening. the TB is nothing more than a valve that lets air into the engine. this is why they discontinued the 90/92 and made the 102.

The big question is, what are your plans with your set up? Heads/cam combo? Nitrous? Straight bolt on? What year do you have...tell us more info on the set up.

I have got a 67 camaro droping in a 02 camaro set up. It is a complete pull out. I want some thing that is quick but able to drive acouple hundred miles with no problems. The car had a big block in it for years always had a cooling problem with it in the summer no matter what I tried it did not fix the problem . So I decided to put in an ls1 for the best of both worlds. Right now my plans are to (buying parts tomorrow) put on a pp typhoon intake, thunder racing tr224 cam (224/224 5.63/5.63 112 ls) comp 918 valve springs, tr 7.4 push rods, shorty headers, 125 shot of nos. to put the car back on the road tired of looking at it in the garage on dollies. In the end i will put a super charger on it. We have got a 02 zo6 with the biggest vortec s/c I've ever seen in our body shop right now and it is very impressive. Driving the vette has motivated me to get it back on the road.

Yeah better stay away from that scary aluminum, its a wonder they make engines out of it.

Thats why I use a BBK, its a nice piece. I don't use nitrous which it sounds like you are planning to, but I'm sure it would hold up fine, its very sturdy.

Next time you drive you car after its been at operating temp for a little bit, when you park the car and get out pop the hood and put your hand on that plastic intake and tell me its not F'in hot.

I really like the Weiand and the BBK's. . . . They seem damn decent, just not for their new prices. . . I seen them on here plenty of times for 300 Bucks or so.

I never said it didnt got hot i just said the aluminum gets hotter if you put a Infrared Temp Gun you will easily see a difference on temp! probably 35+ degrees

bww3588

it may get hot by heat soak, however, the air is only in the intake for a few seconds at the most, not enough to drastically change the temperature, or enough to matter anyways.

we are talking about a intake not engines!!! and for your knowledge aluminum dissipates heat faster then iron!!!! that's why aluminum blocks came around!!! and know witch one absorbs heat more, a plastic or aluminum intake???

09camaro383

do some research you don't need a lot to change temperature of air!!! you know the reason for the coolant running through the throttle body? is to heat up the air for fast start up in extremely cold conditions only problem is ounce the engine reaches operating temperature the coolant keeps pumping through up to 225 degrees warming the air to reduce horsepower proven fact!! now imagine a aluminum intake ruining almost at the same temp of the engine
