Intake manifold
I read in a corvette magazine that some drilling was required to install a FAST intake manifold on a C6. Does anyone know if this is required for other aftermarket intake manifolds, like the one from Weiand (street warrior?).
Also any thoughts on the difference in performance of an aftermarket intake manifold versus a ported stock intake manifold?
How difficult/time consuming is it to remove re-install the intake manifold?
Also are all the stock LS2/LS3/LS7 manifolds different?
Thanks

My understanding of the FAST intake situation is that the FAST intake has a protrusion that makes it hit the firewall. Two fixes that I have seen on the forum: (1) cut the firewall or (2) modify the FAST. Do a search for Spinmonster. He has a number of very informative posts on both the pros and cons of FAST, FAST ported, and OEM ported. Also, he has a post which shows the mod that needs to be done to the FAST intake to avoid having to actually mod your firewall.

There are NO other aftermarket intake manifolds for the LS2 except the FAST, the others are "in development" and will be available "later".
LS3 intake manifolds will not fit a LS2 unless you swap to LS3 heads.
