*General* FAST LSXr 102 thread
Today I finished a swap from a 96mm typhoon intake with a fast 92 tb to a 102/102 set up. Bayer, thanks for the info on the water pump! I set up the intake and tb with an ls2 water pump and it was flawless 
One thing that was briefly mentioned, the coolant crossover line. I'm surprised I hadn't read more on it, because it was absolutely necessary to cut it and install a 1/4" fuel line to get under the bigger intake. Just one more thing to plan for in the install!
Also, Bayer, I installed my map upwards with a sheet metal bracket from my typhoon... Thanks for all your documentation!

1. Lost ~17lbs switching from aluminum to nylon
2. Gained expansion capability with port work (both intakes are portable, but who has a porting program for the Typhoon like Mamo's 102 program?)
3. Increased opening from 92mm (tb) to 102mm
4. LS6 PCV conversion at the same time
5. Heat sink is not an argument here
But now I don't have to think about heat sink
Like I said, if I hadn't got a killer deal on the combo, I wouldn't have done it. For the price of $350, you can worry about it by buying my Typhoon!

^ Not a problem. As long as it helps people, we can throw as much of our info as we can find in here.
I noticed a HUGE increase in throttle response with the whole setup. Just pulls so much nicer!

I just took my 383 for the first drive since the swap from a 96 Typhoon with a 92 FAST tb to a 102/102 combo. First thing, the car wanted to die/idle at 2000rpm everytime I put the clutch in 
but once it got warmed up, I felt it just wanted to idle high instead of dying at every stop light. I realize this is obviously a bad thing that my car doesn't want to drive, but it certainly made me think that the swap must have been worth something because it doesn't want to live on the Typhoon tune anymore 
Cruising was fine, but who buys a FAST to cruise smoothly?
I got it to an entrance ramp and rolled into second. Now I'm not on anything fancier than 275 street tires, but the car didn't used to break the wheels loose at 3000rpm in second I let it catch traction so I could really feel the pull, and my butt dyno said the 2nd-3rd pull was significantly smoother at the top end.
O.N. may not be satisfied, but I can definitely say this thing fit much better than my Typhoon and the feel has completely changed on the top end. I'm tapped on finances and everyone in my area wants $450+ for a tune, so I'll likely just get a Frost tune next month. Which unfortunately means no back-to-back data for Typhoon vs FAST but I can't do anything when the tuning shops say they "don't care about the numbers between a Typhoon and FAST..." If I get it dyno'd anytime soon, I'll post back here
