92mm FAST intake fitment issues?
Has anyone that installed a FAST 92mm had any fitment issues with the cowl? I can get mine to sit flush to the heads and under the cowl, but the map sensor is hitting the cowl and it pushes it out of the port on the intake. I even trimmed off the 2 plastic brackets on the map sensor were it would snap into the stock intake, and it still hits. 
Im sick of taking this intake on and off. Any help would be appreciated.

I did the relocate for ease of changing. Mine wouldn't sit flush because of the coolant lines underneath the intake. Some change theirs out to ls6 style. I tapped them down with a rubber mallet. I did this a few years back so I can't recall the exact reason...but I remember it was good to keep the coolant lines..I think Bill Curlee had a post on this at one time IIRC? I'll see if I saved it.

Yes changed the valley bolts. Its so close to fitting, just hits enough to push the sensor out of the hole a bit. Its still in but not fully seated in the hole. Also the sensor is constantly hitting the cowl like that. Under acceleration it may not be a good thing. Ive had the intake on and off more times than I want to count.

there was a post that installed a small 90 deg. vacuum fitting in the hole by tapping it. I thing it was 1/4" pipe tape. Then install a short piece of hose to the passenger side of the manifold. cut the rubber o-ring off the sensor and install it into the hose.
No need to extend the wires and you can access the sensor should it need to be replaced.
Worked for me.

The only clearance issue I had was the little plastic nub right at the cowl.
I just cut it down a little and put it back in place.
