It should have come with all the parts needed. You do have to change the valley plate bolts from the stock, to a button head screw. You could reuse the stock port gaskets, but I'd get new ones to ensure a solid seal. You can reuse the stock bolts, but beware, I broke one, by tightening in sequence, over and over to make sure I had a good seal..

Just make sure you have it on tight, dont just go by the manual TQ specs & call it a day. I did that, & had ll kinds of tuning issues, that ended up being a vacume leak around the ports, which was solved by torquing down the bolts, over & over, in sequence.

You will need a gasket around the TB.

my friend bought the Fast 92mm intake and we're installing it onto his '00 Trans Am w/ the stock LS1 valley cover and intake. What are these screws you mention and where do you get them? Also, i read on LS1HowTo.com something about changing coolant lines, do you HAVE TO do that or can use reuse the origionals?

nope not to late at all. Where do you get the bold you need? Also, do you have to replace the coolant lines or can you reuse the origional ones. I'm a lil confused; i kno this intake is based off of the LS6 one so r the requirements just like that of the LS6?

I think you have to modify the lines like if you were installing an LS6...youre supposed to get the new bolts with the FAST intake.

i believe the coolant lines have to be the ls6 versions.

if the car is an 01-02 than it already has them, or if you've already swapped an ls6 onto the engine.

otherwise you'd have to buy them i think

Not sure what you mean...the last four bolts wont clear the cowl; you have to sit the intake with the last 4 bolts in..
