FAST 92 on mostly stock? So.....I have the opportunity to get a FAST 92 with TB on my 00 TA for a good deal but I don't have too many mods yet. So far I have a lid, pacesetter headers, ORY, hand made cat back with 2 round flowmaster knock off's (sounds AWESOME), 28lb injectors, M6 swap, full suspension, and a 9"w/3.70. I plan on building a stock replacement engine with file fitted rings, new bearings, ARP rod bolts, MAYBE a small cheater cam, and some 241 heads.
I don't plan on racing this car but I do like having the power there when I want it for just street driving.
The question is, will this intake be too much for what I have?

What's a good deal? You would be lucky to see 5rwh with your current set up. I gained 15rwh 17rwt with my Fast 92/92 but I also have a EPS cam and full bolt on/free mods. If it's not a KILLER DEAL, I would save for a cam package and a LS6 intake.
If you plan on internal mods in the future and don't want to step up to one of the bigger FAST setups, and it's a good price, I'd go for it just to leave it in the box until a bigger cam went in. If you don't plan on doing internals, or it's not really a great deal, I'd pass.

+1 you won't see much gain. Save the money for a cam.
For what it is worth, when I went from an LS6 intake with a 78mm throttle body to a re-snouted LS6 intake with an LS2 90mm throttle body my out-of-town tuner told it would require no change in the tune.
Subsequently, when I got to a local dyno/tune shop, they found no need to change the tune - the AFRs, etc were just fine. Thus, I am not convinced that changing the intake and throttle body necessarily requires a re-tune.

If that's the gamble you want to take then go for it. I've seen and heard a lot of stories or cars running poorly after Fast installs. A tune is always worth it in the end for piece of mind.

The price is my intake and TB plus 600 bucks. Good deal?
I really don't want a big cam, I've been there with a T-Rex and it's not what I want these days. I really want a mild sneaky cam that will make right around 400 at the tires. Hell, an LS6 cam may be all I need if I do it right.
As it sits, the car has been "parking lot" tuned to delete the emmision codes and while in there my tuner smoothed out the spark and fuel tables. It still runs rich but not enough to kill plugs or foul out O2's so I may be safe not tuning.
Believe me, in the future when the engine is done, it will be tuned but in the mean time do you guys think it would be ok to just bolt it on and go? I don't really get it up past 5K maybe once a week.
All this in mind, what do we think fellas?

So they're trading your stock intake plus $600 for the fast?? That LS1 intake may be only worth ~$120. And there won't be much of a change going from the 92 to a 102. There's only a 5CFM flow difference between the two (243 heads on 4" bore) but it just depends on what you plan on using the 102 for down the road. The 102 is a better designed intake, but if you can get a DEAL on the 92, swing for that then.
And look toward PatG for a nice mid-range cam.
I'm a fan.
And if you're staying with your 241 heads for now, the 92 will pretty much max out what they are capable of flowing. So if the cam is in there also, it will help greatly. If you're not getting the cam in the NEAR future, I'd just look into an LS6 intake for now. I ran my LS6 intake for years on my h/c setup. FINALLY got around to doing a FAST setup this past winter.
And I'm not sure if it will run right going from an LS1 to a 92. It's a completely different intake all together. It may run, it may not. I did injectors with my 102 swap and it refused to run afterwords.

you will gain power. I have a full bolts on 00 camaro ss. tuned with HPT I put down 317hp/336tq on a mustang dyno with the stock LS1 intake. I added a Ported Fast 90/90 setup and put down 344hp/364tq. a 27whp gain and 28tq gain. spend the money and fet the Fast, you wont be disapointed. I have dynosheets in my albums
