Default TPIS Intake and LS2 TB installed **Pics.

Slowly checking off the winter mod list. Already did the XS Power Lt's. Just finished installing a ported LS6 manifold with the LS2 90mm snout, and a ported LS2 throttle body.I painted it gunmetal because I wanted something different. Black looks too stock and a lighter gray looks like a FAST (which it isnt) so I went somewhere in between lol. Should be a noticeable gain over my stock setup on my 99 FRC. Waiting on a VR powerduct that I purchased from a forum member and the intake will be complete. Then it is time to get a tune and see how she does.

Nice!

How long was the turnaround time for TPIS?

What gains are you expecting?

Did it turn out as you expected?

Thinking about doing mine but not until later this year when I do some sort of power upgrade.

I dont know just yet. Ill be getting the Vararam Powerduct on this week and will probably try to take it for a drive. (weather dependant) It hasnt been out of the garage since december, but this mild winter is tempting. Should have it on a dyno within the next month or so and will be sure to post up a video and #s of what it puts down with full bolt ons.

what kind of tuning are you going to need to do to compensate for the larger throttle body?
