Nearly started this thread myself...I bidded, but was sort of glad I didn't win. It may be a bargain, or a head-case...

Blowtorch and a knife, and they can soon be sealed.

That was my concern. I'm sure it's workable, but I don't fancy chasing potential air-leaks (especially whilst faffing with the tune)...I was also reckoning on a few quid for some new seals, and whatever bolts are missing.

A new FAST 92/102 is expensive, but if I can carry one back with me next time I'm stateside...

Most leaks Ive seen/hear about are from milled heads, intake wont bolt down to the ports..

Pity it was for legacy heads. Gains on the LS3 from Fast are minor.

Ultimately the Fast intakes only flow around 350cfm, less than most heads these days. Therefore they are becoming the bottleneck.

Maybe a nice 4500 carb intake is the way to go. Sadly most/all of these are cable throttle only.
I have only seen one bodge up electronic job.

That or ITB's but then you have the issue of routing in cold air...

You end up going around in circles and deciding to keep RPM down and displacement up and gear for torque.
That means good heads, high lift lower duration cam, nice exhaust and cold air etc..

Blah, blah..

I'm thinking LSXRT and a hole in the hood...

I was gonna bid and missed it. Bit gutted as there 750£ new for this model.

ITB is not much use with a boosted setup. I need heads too but this is a start!

I'm shocked more intake options don't exist.

TBH Fast has it sewn up. Development and manufacturing costs are probably way more than the intake costs.

There are actually loads of options, but they are all crap except the fast.

Is that £750 landed? Where? Looks to be ~£560 on summit currently, so I guess that may tally. The 102mm requires new fuel rails doesn't it? At least I may be able to get away with a cheap cable throttle body...
