Default Any tips FAST, TB, CAI install?

My FAST intake, ported throttle body, and Halltech Venom CAI will be here this week.
Anyone have some tips before I install this weekend?
Any foreseen problems you wish you knew about before you intalled?

I SEE YOU HAVE A ported TB. YOU WOULD DO WELL TO PORT THE FAST PRIOR TO INSTALL OTHERWISE YOU ARE LEAVING ABOUT 12-15 rwhp/tq
ON THE TABLE. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE A NICE START ON THE WAY TO
POWER. Enjoy your new ride.

Also make sure the FAST has the back mod to it or you mod the firewall of the car if you don't mod the back of the FAST. Plus port the FAST if you can. Also make sure you replace the stock bolts under the FAST with the ones FAST gives you

All over it already.

Was all lined up to get Spinmonster do both the porting and back mod. The new 102 no longer requires either the mod or porting. From what I have been told the porting would not be needed unless doing more extreme mods like forced air etc. Now the intake is good to fit without cutting the firewall or the intake.

Cost only went up 25 dollars too. So I was extremely happy about this.

That is true about the 102 FAST not needing fitment modifications,
however Vengance has proved that it does benefit from porting. If I had to do it over again I would get a 102 from Vengance and have them port it.

Has it been determined that there is more power to be had out of a ported 102 rather than a ported 92 running a stock cam/heads?

Are you installing a ported 102 or 92?

I would get the 102mm no matter what, it fits. If you still want the 92mm, just bolt on a 92mm throttle body
