Yeah he bought the FAST 90 and the NW 90mm TB from me. The Fast had a couple smack cracks in it. Wong thought they could be fixed easily. I didn't want to mess with it so Joe got a killer deal on it. Hopefully it works out okay Joe. The previous one I sold to Poncho ran just fine after he put it on...w/o a tune as well. Did you use some JB Weld on the areas needed?

fast 90/90, still using the slp lid and stock maf. it needs a lil adjustment on the tb also, there is a little slack in the cable so im sure thats why i have the shitty throttle response. but at about 3500 rpm it scream pretty good, i couldnt get any traction tho. i think its the tune

That'll work temporarily, but if you open it too far you'll start messing with the PCM's fuel trims in the tune.

Do you think it will mess with the PCM to much? I just did mine so it will idle at like 850 instead of 600.

Plus it's not the size of the intake that matters, it's the motion of the ocean.

It could. I can't remember the percentage off the top of my head, but I think if the throttle position is registering more than 2-3% open at idle (ie: adjusting the idle screw to open the blade) it will start to affect the short term and long term fuel trims because it's no longer using the idle tables at idle.
