Default Procedure to install a FAST 92 INtake Manifold (For Dummies like myself)

Guys:

Looking for an official install procedure for the FAST 92 intake manifold. Preferably for dummies like myself.

Thanks !

It's pretty straight forward Mark. Just make sure you have the pigtail adapter for the TB and a coolant bypass(homemade or bought) since the bigger TB's don't have coolant passages. Also the mounting bolts for the TB are different. You might look up an LS6 intake install, the basics should be the same. It's been awhile since I installed mine but I don't recall any issues.

What about the fuel line. Special tool to remove that ?

I am already planning to get the pigtail adapter for the LS2 TB, and already have the TB bypass on my car now.

Yeah the fuel line takes a little tool to pop it apart. They sell sets of them them at advance/autozone for about 10 bucks. Think they are fuel line/AC line tools.

Those are the easy parts.

Don't forget to replace your valley bolts with button top bolts.

Also, you will probably need to relocate your map so it doesn't hit the firewall. I like this method because it is cheap and keeps the map in the back.

If it is not already ported, you might as well get that done before you install. Make sure to use the button top bolts.

What does your car make right now with the cam only set up?
This intake should give you nice gains.
