Its one of my best selling items so I work hard now on trying to keep them on the shelf. In fact I have a couple actually ported and ready to go at the moment.

No one has ported more composite intakes than I have and I have perfected the process at this point with lots of revisions along the way. I pioneered porting the FAST 90's back in the day (2004) when most shops asked "why"?

I've done literally hundreds in the last decade plus....and if you ever need to sell it my ported stuff retains its value as its quickly sold and sought after in the open market

Here is an oldie but a goodie type of thread with pics etc.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-102-fast.html

Feel free to PM or email me if you would like to get something going....most guys see 20-25 RWHP with one of my ported FAST 102's assuming good heads and a well thought out combo



Cheers,
Tony

Tony what do you think there are for gains on a stock ls6 with full bolt ins?

IIRC Hio went from a ported fast 90 to a ported 102 on his ls6 and had no gains or losses

On my 346 I picked up 13 RWHP going from an LS6 to a Mamo ported Fast 92. No difference in SOTP feel. That said, a ported 102 should be worth a little more. Build info is in my signature.

You need to upgrade the whole intake tract when you go with a 102. That means the 102 TB and the MAF or speed density. The better head you have on the car the better improvement. Port match it and go.

Everything is upgraded, the 102 is on the car just looking to squeeze more out of it. FTP 104mm 4" coupler 102 TB 102 lsxr. Speed density tuned.

If I could get my hands on them, I would glady do back to back to back dyno testing on them.

Vengeance Racing, WS6 Store, Peak Performance, Brian Tooley also port LSXR intakes and may be worth talking too.

On the quest for 450-460 rwhp out of the bolt on ls6. After doing some reading there seems to be good gains from the porting.

Sorry for the late reply.....been slammed

The better the combo and the more optimized it is the better the gains. Better heads show the highest gains. If you were running a really good head like my MMS 220's for instance the LS6 intake would be choking it.....a swap to my ported 102 is easily worth 23-26 RWHP over an LS6 set-up depending on the rest of the combo. An average set of heads might see close to 20.....a budget or so-so set of heads might only see 15-18 RWHP which is still a large gain no matter how you slice it.

The better the heads the more the OEM system represents a restriction in the pipeline and the greater the gains from the swap.

You never regret going with the better parts but frequently regret skimping....and most guys go back and get it right doing things twice....huge waste of time and money. The guy that didnt want to spend the money initially spends more in the long run doing things twice to get it right. This hobby is an addiction.....knowing you left power on the table just gnaws away at most as they look to make more given a loss or two on a late Friday night.....LOL

See my sig guys....its good advice!

I agree with build it right the first time.

Look at it this way - the heads will almost always flow better without the intake. All intakes will slightly reduce flow. Since you're trying to max out your bolt ons, you're still going to need to get as much air in and out as possible. Also, since its bolt ons, you're not going to have enough cam and valve spring to generate horsepower coyote style - i.e. By revving the **** out of it. 7200 be as far as you'll be able to push it, and you may even find that's not optimal.

So given your rpm range, ported fast 102 easily your best bet. Not necessarily for right this second, but as you make other mods, the intake will not limit you.

PS - if you still have the OE balancer, ditch it and call Tony for his lightened ATI. I have a friend who was getting TONS of false knock from the balancer that wins killing his power and rpm

Interesting! OEM balancer causing false knock, LOSING power and revs. Did not see that coming, though it makes perfect sense! Good call!

That balancer was the devil! Lol
Now the springs are the weak point

From my personal experience I have never seen the gains that some claim on here with any of the Fast intakes on here ported or not. My one buddy who does tuning for a living went from a stock LS6 intake to a ported Fast 102 and gained 1 mph at the track. Same track and very similar conditions. He has a basic heads and cam LS1 setup as well. Another guy I talked to went from a stock LS6 intake to a ported 92 and gained 9 hp on his cam only LS1. Same dyno one week apart. I never measured my gains with my Fast 92 so i cant comment on that. I'm not doubting some of claims out there, it's just that I've never personally seen it

I'd say that HP is achievable but will take a lot of good thinking
