Yeah... Ive had one for like 2 months... have fun trying to bolt up any throttle body that isn't an Edelbrock. I had to drill and tap two extra holes to get my fast 90tb to fit....

Fits under the cowl no sweat. I was looking at one of these but was like..ehhh ill make my own lol

Not at all... The top 3 on the fast tb lined up great, but the bottom two were wayyyy off. I just put 1/4-20 set screws in the existing holes on the bottom and drilled and tapped two new holes. All is good now. Did your stock tb fit ok???

So is this just a cheaper alternative to the fast 92/92 set up? will it flow the same, or better?

im not sure on the gains or the flow yet hasn't been driven. still gettin the fuel lines worked out. yeah its definitely cheaper than a fast 92mm. but i actually just swapped my ls6,rails and TB for the intake and rails. i just bought the fuel line kit and elbow. its a pretty big set up on a stock motor tho...but plan on a built motor later this year.

Yeah, this setup is definately not for a stockish setup. I've got an MS4 with PRC stg 2.5 5.3l heads milled to 59cc's and a big hit of gas going together. I would think that the gains would be similar to a 90/90 with this sort of setup, but with a loss of torque down low due to the single plane design. That, however, is a comprimise I'm willing to make for better n2o and fuel distribution and what should be more power up top.
