I like mine.. Like I told you, they can be a PITA to tune, but why not have a TB that matches your intake? I put my factory TB up to it, just to see if it could be ported somewhat close to the intake.. It didn't look like it would work so I said the hell with it and bought one. Throttle response is better and it's sexy looking, lol.
My 102mm vs a 90 something MM for an LS6

I think so. It's the total package that makes it complete. Not hard to tune the latest ones. My tuner only had to make a couple changes.

Probably get 5 RWHP/RWTQ only. Throttle response can't be measured.

They made that intake opening 102mm for a reason...might as well use all of it.

I got 7rwhp and like 15tq. Mid range gains were 18-20ftlbs and 14-20hp. Throttle response was vastly improved.

Yes, because you will have to re-tune if you dont.

Those are impressive gains from the 102mm TB change! I assume you already had a typical cam/headers/intake/tune combo with the FAST 102 before the TB upgrade?
