For Sure! I just wasnt sure if the power increase on my engine was worth it. That FAST 92 is fukin too expensive when I can get a 102 for over $100 less!

IMO, if you're already worried about resale value then don't buy it, just start putting that money aside for you future LS3 engine, or a 9" rear!

I have researched the install and seems the Fst 102 TB is the issue, I plan to run a 92mm
Correct, the bigger TB causes some of the install issues. And you're one step ahead having the fuel rail already. But, consider this, you could sell the rail and put that towards the 92, thus making it cheaper. Food for thought.

Pretty sure a radical H/C 346 will benefit from having a 102 over a 92.

But hey, if it works for you it works for you.
No, sorry. Try again.

Both will resell just fine. Since you have access to the LS2 rails it makes no sense to buy the 92, you will save a chunk of change and have a better intake

Grab a stock intake to hold you over?

If you already have the new rail and the 102 is cheaper, buy it. You definitely will not make any less power than the 92 and have the potential to make more.

i have pulled/installed my fast 102 a couple of times now, and if you find installing the intake a difficult job, you probably should not work on your car. a little more patience, yes. since the intake is taller you have less room to work with around the cowl. hardest part is putting some zip ties around the rear 2 bolts on both sides of the intake to hold them up in place when installing. all described in the instructions when you get the intake.

Just anyones fyi.... You cannot use a nick williams 92mm throttlebody on the fast 102 intake and it seal properly... Use the fast 92mm tb or if u have a dbw use the ls2/3 throttlebody... And they make a product called the vmax ring for a 92mm throttlebody install on a fast 102.. It goes behind the throttlebody

What is the issue with the NW? I thought FAST and NW looked identical.
