Got the green light
I got the go ahead to purchase some items today. I just bought 42#injectors the other day.
I might have jumped the gun on the injectors.
I need some direction on where to purchase the following items:
1) FAST intake 92mm (Not sure of the most recent design)
2) LS2 90mm Throttle Body( Silver Blade From What I Have Read)
3) FUEL RAILS ? FAST or ? Spacers Or what?
4) MAF (Don't know if I need this item)
5) Rotors. (Not sure on the brand/keeping the stock calipers)
6) Break pads(They are still in great shape, just need to replace before I go work out in Napa Valley)
The only work being done in a shop will be the tune.
I have 2 weeks to try and accomplished these installations. If not they will be installed during Thanksgiving/Christmas.
I saw a lot of the prices which vary. That is not the problem. The problem is getting the correct items and not having to try and return them out of error. I tried every section from this site looking for these items with no luck.
Also, shout out to stealthc5 for the fast shipping and great fabrication on the Breathless Lights add-on. Rear covers/plates look great. Ill try and install them this coming week as well. Pictures of the install soon.

Hope not lol. You at least have headers/full exhaust and a cam? If you plan to boost it at all in the future or now, I wouldnt run a fast. Stock intake works great and wont crack as easily under boost. If you are just building a nice n/a motor then a fast would be fine.

forged bottom end and ls6 top end
I ended up using the top end from my ls6. Had minor work done to the heads.
Added a mcleod twin disk clutch. Had the differential done with hardened parts. Installed my Kooks headers with no cats.
Honestly I want to buy all these items so I can see myself about the so called better response. Might even breath better. Horsepower not a goal at this time. Plus they look great.
I posted some information on my profile a while back. So that fellow vette owners will get an idea of my build.
My goals are to keep it all n/a. Too much money wasted on this build to turn my back on it and buy a blower.
I'd go fi on my next vette.
