Fast 92 install
just picked up a fast 92 for our c5. I have a ls2 TB as well. Was going to get the TB ported, need to get the bolts for the valley cover, and the harness for the TB. Anything else I will need for the install??

As to TB porting, it's difficult for me to express how much I HIGHLY recommend Pete's work. I chose to send him my (then new) LS2 TB and his turnaround time is quite good. I have personal experience with his work and consider him the Tony Mamo of TB porting.

Btw, be prepared to deal with possible firewall interference issues. I went with modified (lowered .390") motor mount brackets, but some choose the short urethane mount solution. Another method of lowering the engine for clearance is the Lingenfelter cradle shim kit designed specifically for this issue. Simple, inexpensive, and effective but it's only .250" however.

If you're using a LS2 TB doesn't have the coolant passages so you'll need a piece to bypass the lines. I found a 1/4" fuel hose coupler to do the trick.
Also, you may want to mount the MAP sensor remotely by tapping the hole to fit a 1/4" NPT pipe fitting and running a small amount of 1/4" fuel line from it to the MAP sensor. I personally have some fitment issues with the MAP sensor and the firewall, although I'm on urethane motor mounts so that may be the issue.

As far as the 102 is concerned, the clearance issue seems to show up in varying degrees. IOW, some people have it worse than others. "Tolerance/manufacturing stacking" is the only thing I can think of that would make sense as to why.
Having said all that though, my current manifold efforts are involving the fairly new MSD manifold (with some Tony Mamo porting handiwork), so it's going to be a real learning experience, as the LS7 manifold was designed by MSD for use in a C6. I'll be finding out how it goes soon.

Pete's background and credentials are equally as impressive as his porting skill. Years of experience in the field of engine airflow management, including working with the GM team on the development of the composite LS intake manifolds. Plus, he's just a genuinely nice guy too.
