How's it going Mike? I guess this install definitely broke your cherry.
I'm sure when it's all done and you get a tune for it....major smile factor.

The FAST 90/92 on a C6 definitely needs the SPIN-FAST mod to be easily installed.
The SPIN modded FAST90/92 is the most complete FAST for install on our C6's and SPIN's attention to detail is the DIFFERENCE.

The hole in the front for the MAP sensor is 13/32 " for a nice tight fit.
The sensor will mount 90 degrees from the original OEM position. There is a picture of the spot on the original SPIN POST " FAST IS REALLY FAST DIAL UP WILL CRAWL. Be carefiul with the FITTING in the back ,
if its too close to the left side it will hit the oil sender. I referenced that issue in my thread.

No leave the orange gromet on. Just push it in the hole (MAP SENSOR ).
How do you plan to mount the brake line fitting on the rear ? I presume the hole is alreadt there now ?

on my 07 the fitting at the rear was for 3/8 hose, the booster hose is 1/2, so while I had it of I replaced it with the proper one.
Make sure your clearance at the backwhere the mod was done is enough not to rub under acceleration or at cam lope.
I was able to install mine but when it was running it would hit.
I just removed what they put there and replaced it, thinned out the material on the manifold still leaving the line up lip and a counter sunk screw with a counter sunk area washer.
once the glue dries I'll install it, Sunday.

I mapped it out for another member today in my garage in 30 minutes.

I am that member. Thanks for the assistance Mike!

Will be interested to see how you do, as our cars are quite similar performance wise! I still haven't gotten a FAST but it's my next mod I think.

Will you be posting up a thread? Please PM me if I miss your thread.

Default You finally made it. Thanks to SPIN.

Thanks to SPIN he came in the middle of the night from N.Y. to
the rescue. With SPIN you get Talent & Talons the combo that will make you fly. There is no need for a tune now. Maybe a trip to the
Dyno to get some postings and a little for ST. JUDES.
