"Matt, so can swap our stock throttle position sensor switch onto the FAST 90MM TB?"
Yes.
"Also, what is the F.A.S.T. LSX Intake Port Seal (set of 8)?"
Intake manifold gaskets. Again your stock gaskets will fit if you choose to reuse them.
Yes.

damn. that is ridiculously stupid on that throttle body. people who have all out race cars i could understand compensating that much money but, regular heads, cam ls1 folks, i wouldn't understand. it may cost that much to produce etc but i just cant understand spending that much money on a freaking throttle body

You can buy a set of nice ported heads all decked out with big valves and springs for what this intake costs with their matched 90mm throttle body. Seems a little steep...... that intake/TB combo better make like 30-40HP at the wheels.

How long until GM gets their 90mm version out? Be nice to see a $450 intake and a $300 throtle body... performance should be the same if not better...

That's what im waiting for myself
That's alot of money for a dyno graph because the cause for spending that much money will be decided when someone gets some solid track times with the LSX/90mm TB combonation. Think ET's people not dyno graphs lol

We'll be testing more as soon as we get some of the 90mm tb's in. I will post Shane's graph first thing in the morning.
