Default Ported FAST on and Running!!!
I had Tony Mamo port a FAST 90 for me over the winter. I also picked up a Nick Williams throttle body. After making every mistake that is likely possible during the installation, the car is up and running again. Fired right up, no leaks detected and throttle response seems good. Hopefully will get to take it out today if the weather cooperates

I took lots of photo's in case anyone has a question.

On to the tuners and we'll see what happens

Every mistake? I'll bet you didn't bust out the bottom piece of the 3 piece manifold like I did.

Yes, I did learn from others on that one thankfully

Hoping to get it out on the road today, but a little voice kept saying "You better cut the grass first.", and I know she means it too

Thought my installer was the only one who did that by not removing the valley pan bolts and installing the flat button bolts. Gave up and went back to the LS6 intake
