I dont know any shops there but as far as the FAST is concerned. I would not just have it installed without a tune and you may want to get it ported to get the most out of it. My tuner did Porting, Painting & dyno tune + installation for $400.00 or so. Gained abour 25 HP/Tq over
ported OEM.

I've personally had an issue with installing the 92mm FAST. I used the 90mm LSX to LS2 fuel rail adapter which I think was the problem, wrong kit(only kit though). I do now what needs to be done though to make that kit work (retro-fit the retro-fit) and if you have any questions I would be able to help you out.

includes all mentioned items for about $1,500. Then you will need it installed & tuned. I know you are not interested in doing it yourself but
if you can afford $2,000 for it all you will have maximum HP/TQ in the
average range of 30 RWHP / TQ. Another less expensive avenue would be to buy one from a forum member who is selling it and moving on to another car or setup. Do your homework, searches & find a install Tuner. You will love the performance. Good Luck.

West Coast Corvettes sells them and I believe will modify them (not the firewall) and install them for you. I bought mine brand new from ebay for $600, modified it myself using SpinMonsters procedure, and installed it myself. Save your money on the porting unless you plan on doing other mods as well (which we all eventually do).

Modding/Porting/Installing Fast
I ported my own FAST & Spin helped w/ the firewall mod. I strongly recommend both. Do a search for Spinmonster & FAST, the cut manifold in pic is actually mine (thanks Guy), this is a very well illustrated how to & porting , although time consuming, is pretty easy. I know you stated you don't want to work on your car which is fine. I just want you to see what's out there & not to over pay. Lingenfelter had the FAST for $750, my tuner charged $150 to install, so if the whole port, firewall (no cut) mod, & install is over $1200-1400 keep looking & solicit help from local CF members who've done it or know where to have it done. Hope this helps.

Kushan does a lot of FAST intake installs. He also ports and paints them.
