I just had the FAST intaker installed at LG as well. The stock injectors worked, but the O-rings had to be replaced with LS1 injector O-rings and the fuel rail had to be modified, mainly the brackets for mounting to the intake. I'm curious to see what the dyno #'s say on jkonkles car, a nice mod for the LS2 for sure
I will post later - doing some family stuff tonight.
I will have the exact same setup as you when it's done
G5X3, headers, halltech, ASP underdrive and FAST
other items include 160thermo, tgk plugs, borla stinger (rectangular/oval dual pipes), no cats.
I've got a dyno and some pictures of the firewall cutout.
I have a 422 and am real curious if this intake is worth it for a big cube motor.....I have heard that by adding the intake you are sacrificing some low end torque. Looking forward to these dyno results...
but more importantly some track results...can anybody post some track results?????
Doesn't look to me like the FAST intake compromises low end torque. What would be interesting to see is the dyno results of a port matched stock intake.
Before the FAST: 410rwhp/384rwtq, after 427rwhp/405rwtq. It was worth it for two reasons, First the the gain was nice and second next week my 215 ET heads go on and the FAST now becomes an even more important bolt on.
FAST picked up 31 HP and 36.7 ft lbs on my Procharged 05 A4. This intake seems to make a big difference on highly modified cars. But it is a major PITA install.
btw, did the LS2 fuel rail & injectors bolt on, or did you have to make some other changes??
Hey Dave, I did the swap and as someone already said you need to use the LS1 injector o-rings. The Ls2 rail will still fit but you need to use oversized washers to hold it down unless you want to cut and bend the tabs to line up with the mounting holes for the fuel rail or buy a 2004 ls1rail to replace the stocker. I went ghetto and used the 4 washers.
Anyone still have a comment on the use of the FAST over the stocker and the gains it does or doesn't make? Looks like a winning mod to me for 3 hours work. Im sure there will still be a few non-believers that will swear it doesnt work any better and isnt worth the price of admission....

I had my intake ported and gained 15/rwhp and 15/rwtq for $240.00.

Hmm, nice gains! That's good to know. I've been a little skeptical of the gains posted by others. I know on the GTslOw they get really good gains but that engine seems to be underachieving for whatever reason. Possibly drivetrain losses.
The intake is a gating factor on the LS2 in regards to TQ/HP output. For a take-off and mod that's a good gain. But like all things, when you get close to the limit the small gains are more costly. Like I say to customers in IT if you want 99 uptime it's xxx.00 if you want 99.9 it's xxxx.00, if you want 99.999 it's xxxxxxxx.00 if you want 99.99999 it's xxxxxxxxxxx.00 dollars
