FAST intake upgrade question
I currently have a 78mm FAST on my LS1 ported with a port matched Throttle body. I am wanting to go with a bigger size FAST like a 90mm or 92mm.
Can I use my existing connections and throttle body or do I have to get a bigger throttle body too?
What all must be done to make it work? Thanks.

You will have to upgrade your throttle body also. The 78mm TB has 3 bolts in a triangle. The 90mm + tb have 4 bolts in a square pattern. Also FAST stopped making the 90 and 92 mm intakes. They only sell the 102mm intake new now. So you would have to find a used 90/92 intake and at times they can be hard locate it seems. I personally went with a 102mm intake and tb

If you go with the 102 Fast and an LS3 92mm throttle body make sure you use a transition ring behind the throttle body. You'll need the wiring adapter to convert to the 92 and new fuel rails, but your injectors should be fine.

according to Tony Mamo here, a properly ported and tuned FAST 78 will perform with a few HP of a FAST 90. They have the same runner size just a different size opening. Something to think about.

That was my question too. I was wondering how much improvement over the FAST 78 to see if it would even be worth the expensive swap. I thought the FAST 78 was a pretty good manifold.
