From what I understand, they are only opening the throttle body hole by 2mm, the rest of the intake remains the same. I don't think there will be any difference in performance and believe it to be more of an advertising gimick to compete with some of the other intakes that have come out.

The throttle body and MAF will be of more restriction than the opening in the manifold. 92mm shouldn't hurt, but it is not the weakest link in the intake system.

Do you work for FAST or something? That seems to mirror their shortsighted mentality.

Anyways, don't tell that to the guys with 100mm TB's and MAFs and 4" intake tubing.

The 92mm FAST is made of a different, stronger polymer material than the current intakes. They also have made 'incremental' changes to the port length and shape to further optimize the intake. This in addition to the slightly larger throttle body opening, it now has stainless hardware, threaded inserts on the throttle body flange, and an improved throttle body o-ring seal.

It's not a huge step forward from the current crop of 90mm intakes, but it's slightly better.
