Everything I've read, it's a close second to a fast92 with port and polish. I have no experience with it or a ??? And then Throttle body.... very few are willing to discuss

Talked with some other folks yesterday....some say their prone to have leaks on the ls6, also require some bolt grinding or and ls2 water pump swap. Ls7 owners seem to like them.
I've also had several people tell me to go with a fast 92 vs. 102. Why ? I know bigger isn't always better, but woulnt you want then most airflow possible on a modified engine ? Matched TB of course.

When I was looking into getting a C6Z I was doing some reading on them. If you hop on over to the C6Z section, Tony Mamo has a pretty decent thread on them. For that particular car, it seems superior to the FAST. I've also heard that it's not quite the case for the other models. The car I'm likely buying already has a ported FAST 90, so I don't really need to look at anything else until I go full retard.

If you have a ported 90, I don't think it's worth the switch. But for cars with stock intake, or my case I have an old FAST 78, go right to the 102 from the start.

Basically. My plan is to build a LS2/3 Stroker hopefully unless I can score a good deal on an LS7. Sorry for any confusion.
I agree, that's why I said pretty much the same thing. I thought briefly about a 102/NW combo, but I don't think I'll spend the money right now. Nice username BTW.
Tony Mamo has said the msd is better for the ls7, on a ls1/6 the FAST 102 is still better. So for our cars, the FAST 102 is the best you can do, some people argue it's too big depending on mods... I have a cam only car, and tony himself highly recommended the 102 and i would see noticeable gains over a 92. So he just finished my ported FAST 102, should have it by the end of the week.
