Default June Intake and TB Porting Special

Hello everyone. We had such a great response with the last special and decided it was time to do it again. We typically charge $300 for the intake manifold porting and $150 for the TB and when done together we charge $400.

From today through the end of June, we will be offering special pricing of $225 for the intake manifold and $125 for the TB. If you have both of these done together, the price will be $300 SHIPPED. If you are not local, these prices include shipping within the 48 states.

The average gain for the LS2 intake manifold is 11rwhp/13rwtq. We have done over 230+ LS2 intake manifolds, 75+ LS7 (18RWHP and 20RWTQ), 20+ LS3 & L76s (12RWHP and 15RWTQ) and over 190 TB's.
We have had many cars gain much more than the averages listed.
20RWHP from an LS2, 32RWHP for an LS7, and 30RWHP from a L76 and 22RWHP from an LS3, 35RWHP from a FAST.
When porting the TB you will see greatly improved throttle response and bottom end/mid range Tq feel and a significant seat of the pants gain. Our Manifolds are very thoroughly ported not only in the runners (like some do) but also much of the plenum and TB flange are enlarged in order to support more airflow in the upper RPM. The larger the air reservior the less likely to deplete more volume in the upper RPMs. Hence the OEM difference of the '00 LS1 intake vs the '01 LS6 intake.

We also port LSX manifolds, pricing is typically $350. Through June 31st we will also be porting these for $250 SHIPPED (10RWHP and 10 RWTQ). We do open the flanges of a 90mm FAST to 92mm as well as reshape the bell-mouth port entry and increase plenum volume.

For those of you interested in this offer we can help with the tuning as well. We know exactly what to do in the tuning in order to optimize the fuel, spark advance and response.
On all vehicles since '01 the more airflow the vehicle has the less timing it will give it under heavier load. We fix that in the tune as well as dial in the right amount of fueling at the right time.

NOTE: A core charge applies if not available.
Thank you
Dan @ Fasterproms

There are no measurable gains from porting an LS1 intake. The throttle body porting will increase throttle response.

Can I buy a ported LS7 intake directly from you? I dont have one yet.

I wanted to get one opened up for the largest throttle body I could put on it for big cubes.

email me:dhirocz@yahoo.com

Since this whole L92/L76 thing is still so unknown, I think I should take one for the team and do a test with their ported L76, on the same dyno on the same day with only the stock/ported intake swap and a re-tune being the only factors that change. I have a 427 with everything below, so it should be a pretty dead nuts accurate before and after showing with dyno overlays.

Since it is a big motor with no other restrictions, I would think it could possibly stand to pick up quite a bit.

'02 WS6 6 speed
LS7 block 427, 11.2:1
Volant dual cone intake
TSP 100mm Maf
L76 intake
Ported L92's
Comp 232/238 cam
1 7/8 headers
3" true duals

Now that's the spirit.

Did Jeremy get a hold of you on Thursday? His cell # is 813 495 8778 if you still need to speak with him. I would love to see how your combo performs with even less restriction on top.

Yes he did. I offered to fly him to Phoenix if he wants to visit AZ and do the tuning himself. Not sure if it will work out but we'll see.

That's a great idea! My combo is close to yours except in a C5. If it works for you then the decision to have mine done is easy.

Dan,
Any experience on porting a Vic Jr? If so, let me know. Tx

Hey guys, sorry too much going on at once....Whew. OK I'll try not to make this a novel. Yes I have ported the typhoon intake and a number of other Aluminum intakes. There is a fair amount of improvement in that intake in particular. There was a few ugly casting flashes in the ones that we have seen. But typically I would never suggest going with an Aluminum intake, there is just plain too much heat soak and thus a loss of power. When tuning a car with an aluminum intake you cannot run as much timing, not bc it has such a great intake charge (which is typical of a FAST, denser intake charge =more cylinder pressure, requires less timing to make best power) it's because there is SOO MUCH heat. I would suggest an OEM or FAST intake over almost any aluminum intake. Honestly, I have not done a Vic Jr. I hear there is a ton of effort involved in order to get those runners to flow evenly. I have seen plenty of ported and I could do a good clean up but I would not know who would be the BEST person to do the job, like I said many man hours, and flow bench time.
The OEM and FAST manifolds I am very confident in and I feel that I truly can optimize each manifold for your application.
OK the L76/L92/LS3 stuff is all VERY similar. I have ported many of these intakes with before and afters on the dyno. Now the average of these should be in the neighborhood of about 14RWHP and 16RWTQ. See the problem with this setup is lack of plenum volume or let's think of it as a reservoir of air. If you have a big reservoir than it is harder to deplete it especially at higher RPMs where the engine is demanding it more. These intakes are WAY TOO SMALL!! Think about the revision of the LS1 to the LS6 intake what was the difference that was worth 10RWHP, the plenum its larger and will make more power throughout the RPM band. the LSX over the LS6 has a number of revisions but notably they made it as large as they could in the plenum. I have done many tests even back to back tests on our own GTO with 2 ported LS2s of varying plenum volume. The Larger always made more power. Guess how big a prostock intake manifold displaces, 500CID. So by this principle. The number one thing I do with these manifolds is open them up anywhere I can safely as well as open up the runners and TB flange. I have seen a 30RWHP gain but I probably never will again. I have had one lower than 10RWHP, But the last 15 or so that I have done have been very stout. About half of the guys running these combos are larger CID, the larger the motor the more vacuum they are building up in the RPMs. I distinctly remember a 414 up in PA that had the most vacuum i have ever seen at sea level. We opened up the intake manifold and picked up over 22RWHP and lowered the vacuum.
I tried to do a search of many of the customers that I have done, about half were while I was up in PA. I only found references that I had ported it but no solid graphs. Its kind of disappointing but I promise you its worth it and there are many people out there that I have done this for but just not posted the results.
I am truly baffled why people are not able to improve upon this intake in after-market form. If you look at an LS7 intake vs a LS3/L76 etc, its a LG cat vs a tiny mouse. If you guys have any questions please give me a call 9am-9pm EST on my cell 813-495-8778 and I will try to help you out as much as possible. I would also like to help you guys out with tuning these as I know what each of these motors need.
Thank you

Thanks for the info. I'm not worried about the heat soak as it is going in a sandrail that has the engine out in the open air, not confined to a cramped underhood area.

Do you port LS4 throttle bodies? If so let us know. Also, I do not have a core... Thanks in advance.

WE literally just did one Friday, so by all means yes. The manifold has plenty of room for improvement as well, as we did this in combination with the TB. We do not stock these TB's and intakes so we would need either yours or a replacement. We are extending the $300.00 special as well for these vehicles.

Thank you,

Dan

Just want to give all a heads up that we will be extending this special through till July 15th.

Some popular questions:
Core charge is $550.00 for both the intake and TB. Refunded the day we receive the core's back. Just ask that you return your core's within 7 days of receiving the ported set. It typically takes 2-3 day's for the refund to show on statements due to processing time with banks/CC companies.

Turn around here is usually less than 3 days if you send your set to us for porting.

Also Want to thank all that have ordered and hope you enjoy your new found UMMPH! We have done at least 15 since we started this special.

We also offer tuning for these mods, either here locally, or via HP tuners mail order.

Also, today we are working on a "how to" video or instruction manual to remove the intake and tb, and hope to have it up soon.

Thanks all!

Here are some graphs of some Cars that we dynoed, tuned, and swapped the intakes and TBs.
1st is a 07 LS7 ported and tuned: 1st is base, 2nd is base tune, 3rd is ported and tuned completely.


Here is a 07 LS7 base tune and then ported and tuned.


Here are two C6 LS2's with just cai and cat backs:




383 LS6 to ported FAST and nice set of heads:


408 LS6 to ported FAST:
