FAST 90 intake and TB are the way to go

Subject: Re: Question about TBs Mon Mar 31, 2008 1:18 am

I'm going to be alittle direct here.

The 90 TB will not work on a stock intake. SLP MAF is a waste of $$.The stocker tunes in alot better and makes the same power. I charge $75 to port a stock TB and a gain of 8-10rwhp is normal,more with built motors.LS2 intake is a piece of junk.You'll be lucky to gain anything over a LS6 intake.FAST 90mm is the hot ticket nowadays with the new plastic Weiland coming that could be better. The Cam choice also dictates the intake ect.

Good luck with ESP. Wink

I disagree to a point it all depends what you want for future mods cause I say the carb style intake with a 90 is best lol

youd be better off porting the tb yourself. there are plenty of diy's on ls1tech and other sites about it. find some new maf ends. youll be good.

Unless you have experience in porting I wouldn't do it there is actual techniques and shit and there is a such thing as overporting

Give me something within the stereo realm and I'm comfortable but honestly I would probably just screw it up if I tried to port it myself. Plus I'm pretty sure Slowhawk will be porting it for me. Is it a hard thing to do?

not if you have porting experience and the right dremel bits etc..

i did mine.... but ya.

I've tossed alot of screwed up TB port jobs that customer drove in on. Yes,it's fairly simple if you know what your doing but it's very simple to screw it up.

Don't EVER run ported MAF ends on a LS1!!!! They hurt more than help and it makes the tuners job an unhappy one.
