I will be putting on a Fast 102 and 102 tb in a week or 2 to replace a Jeremy F ported LS3 intake and Fast 92 tb on my 427 w/PRC L92 heads. The results will be seen at the dragstrip not a dyno because I dragrace! I'm hoping to pick up about .15 sec in the 1/8 mile.

When i switched from an 85mm maf to a 100mm maf it picked up about .15 sec so i would think the 92mm tb is a restriction on a 427 motor with good flowing heads.

Subscribed.

Curious how this would perform on a 400+ CI engine. What is the going rate for a regular LS3 intake?

Can you share with us how much power was gained going speed density??

so the LS3 engines have a bigger MAF than the LS2's. Didn't know that: will the LS3 bolt into a LS2, plug n play style? I am loath to deal with an aftermarket MAF when they are such a sensitive item and the OEM's put such effort into making them-- no aftermarket company seems to have gotten it right yet with all the claims of guys switching back to stock just to get there A/F ratios correct.

There just isnt enough results yet to prove this intake is worth the $$.

Im sure quite a few of us will keep our eye's on this.. so far its not looking good.

Default Just thought I would throw this out there

Hey Guys,

Don't want to hijack this, but I thought you all would like to see these results.

The bigger everywhere lines are the L92 truck manifold, the lower lines are a stock LS3!!!!

Talk about dissapointing. These are on a 427 with LS3 heads and a 230/240 cam. This is all through a 85mm descreened truck MAF.
I did notice that the truck intake was pegging the MAF sensor starting at 5800, the car manifold only did it above 6200!!!!

That is some interesting information. Those intakes were both un-ported?

It looks like it picked up a substantial amount.

Yeah, we were hoping the LS3 manifold would pick up the top end, or at least it would be better somewhere!!!

So how do the carb style EFI single plane manifolds compaire with the elbows on them to these plastic style manifolds? Like the Edelbroke Vic manifolds or the GMPP manifolds? Does anyone have any back to back dyno results to compaire these to the stock style LS3 manifolds?

I should know the answer to this in the next couple of weeks.
We have a sprint car coming to do some chassis dyno testing. I will try all of these out on it. That way, I know if it truly makes a difference or not.

Cool keep my in the loop. I am turbo charged now and I have been toying with the idea of switching to a LS3 manifold.

i dont have a back to back, but here is a dynograph of the l76 with weak patriot golds(weak for stainless l92 valves), vs gmpp single plane with 420lb better valve springs different injectors rails fpr, and yella terra rockers. Edelbrock ported "tight" elbow... i might also be missing one more thing not sure

If you cut the cowl will the truck manifold fit?

I can hardly make out the dyno but it looks like it is much better up top with a little lose down low. Can you give any number differences in HP and Torque? I can not realy see well enough to tell.
