Yeah it lost 2 or 3 if I remember correctly on the engine dyno. You will never feel that. Also GM High tech now doesnt use anything else nor does hot rod. Neither does high performance pontiac. And no you arent because the cam and heads determine powerband. If the heads dont flow more the powerband will remain the same, it will not shift up or down. The better intake will improve airflow at different rpms and make more power but it wont move

Right. But like I said the losses down low are minimal, you will never feel 3hp at 3000 rpm when you are gaining 10 everywhere else

A 102 MIGHT lose a couple below 3500 RPMs.... Only time I'm at 3500 RPMs is when I'm leaving a red light and trying to beat grandma in her mini van.

And like stated, if you are gaining 10+Rwhp everywhere else, nice tradeoff.

I know u will never feel that low end 3 hp/tq...I was just trying to point out that there are different dynamics with the bigger intake...good discussion though

[QUOTE=03EBZ06;15871697]Recently cracked my lower end on the FAST90. I have to get a new intake, but at this point, I am very skeptical about the 102.

How much power is the 102 worth over a 90, if any?? web links?

I may have to fix my 90 somehow. Are there other options out there?
See engine in sig.[/QUOTE
Ive done plastic welding using from a solder gun to my current lcd controlled hot air gun from urethane supply co. You need identical material to plastic weld. Also plastic welds need to be thicker on one side because the plastic doesn,t cross link molecularly as when it's first formed. On thermoplastics , you have to be careful of warping . It is possible though, but what do I know about plastic welding.

Should have the 102 on this week and test drive it by Sat. A new intake and another 50 to 100hp of nitrous should make things interesting.

I appreciate the inquiries coming in on the FAST 90, but note I sold it about an hour ago. It was a good intake!!

Should have seen the FAST thread in the newbie section. 10 replies that the LS6 didn't lose anything under 450 rwhp or you had big heads and a cam. Even though GMHTP gained double digit numbers on a 460fwhp LS1 with bolt ons and a 224/230 cam

Yeah I was posting in there too. At some point though it gets old repeating myself over and over to people who think one example trumps the dozens that contradict it.
