Default FAST or L76 Intake?

Which would flow more and if the L76 fits w/o firewall mods, would this be the way to go?

They arent interchangable. The FAST is for catherdral ports and the L76 only fits the L92 heads.

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Since the AFR/225/FAST combo cost big $, please include factory LS7 heads & intake combo into the comparison as well(if they fit, with the huge 2.2" intake vavles).

I have been watching for flow tests and havent seen any. Did you hear of any? The other issue here is that even with good peak numbers these heads are 265cc runners which is way huge compared to 205 afr's or 215+ ETP's. I would wait to see some results before jumping on this one.

The next issue is that even though they are good at first glance, they arent intended for our small 4" bore motor. The 6.2 has a 4.065 bore and these heads will likey be shrouded by the smaller bore.

I've seen great numbers with etp's and the FAST. I'll beleive the hype when I see the results.

Here ya go, Spin:

L92 flow results with manifold.
So we did some touching up on some L92 heads. We opened up the exhaust and just barley touched the bowl area on the intake side. The radius to the seat on the intake needs some attention to it, but thats all. These results were done on a superflow 600 bench, 4.100 bore, 28" water.

No manifold
.100_64 .200_156 .300_230 .400_274 .500_318 .600_349 .700_341
With manifold
.100_67 .200_153 .300_224 .400_268 .500_301 .600_323 .700_323
Exhaust was done with no pipe. So numbers will be lower than if there was a pipe on it.
.100_46 .200_124 .300_162 .400_192 .500_215 .600_227 .700_234
Enjoy. Hope this helps everyone out.

thanks bud..I guess Im in for a crate motor when they are out. It would be near 500 to the wheels with just a cam change and all the bolt ons. We will see it soon.

A guy in the C5 section is about to have a stroker done with these heads but once again, the flow numbers you have above are done ona 4.1 inch bore and are going to suffer greatly on the 4" bore.

Spin, apparently GM isn't worried about shrouding with these huge intake valves because the engine only has a 4.06" bore diameter.

6200 6.2L V-8 (L92)

Displacement (cu in / cc):
378 / 6199

Bore & stroke (in / mm):
4.06 x 3.62 / 103.25 x 92

Here's one with a 4.030 bore test:

The intake was tested with a radius plate and the exhaust was tested with a 2 ½” stub pipe.
Valve dimensions:
Intake = 2.160” X 4.870” X .314”(8mm)
Exhaust = 1.590” X 4.920” X .314”(8mm)

Nice numbers - I've been following the various L92/L76 threads here and especially over at LS1Tech. Several projects "in process", including some interesting larger displacement L92's.

I'm real interested to see some dynos on the L92 vs. an AFR205 to see how the lower end TQ is effected by the different velocity/flow characteristics.

*If* the L92/76 proves to be a good streetable combo for LS2's, based on the initial pricing I've read, wow, it will be an incredible deal!
