FAST intake/Vring Question I have purchased a ported FAST 102 from vengeance and had a LS2 DBW TB ported by Vmax and had a Vring sent out with it to suit.
Vengeance ported the mouth of the intake and the recommendation is to loosen the 2 front bolts and slide the Vring in and tighten the bolts.
So because of the mouth porting, when I install the Vring it slides in and out of the mouth... without loosening the bolts,
I haven't exactly measured but its safe to say it hasn't been ported to more than say 102.5-103mm as the Vring still contacts with the mouth somewhat.
I know it won't enter the intake but I'm worried about it moving back and forth and hitting the MAP sensor.
My question: Is there something I could line the mouth of the intake like silicon or similar that won't melt due to the extreme heat that engine will produce so the Vring won't move around?
Also I don't want to try and tighten the intake down anymore than it is as it may crack..
Thanks in advance for your help

Vengeance ported my intake aswell, and i have the same problem. Im just not going to use the ring and we will see how it goes. So with that said i have a useless vmax ring if anyone wants it.
I just dont like the idea of having to put something around the ring to get it to fit snug in there. even if i was to put a layer of tape around the ring to make it fit snug in there, i would hate for the **** to come off and get sucked through my intake
