Default LS3 Fast 102 install questions

- Ran home for lunch and the Fast 102, spacers, and gaskets were on my porch.

I need to find a little time for the install, but I want to make sure I'm prepared. Any issues on the install or is it straight forward?

Few Questions:
Did you have any problems with any coolant crossover tube in the front?
Did you have to plug anything in the back (like the 90) (vacuum)

I've been working like a mad man.. I have two full time jobs. The second job offer was too good to pass up and I've been with American Airlines too long to leave (15years). HA!!!!

I'm back now, I'm gunning for that 10second slip... I just got the fast and the Meziere is in the mail...

Rick glad to hear you'll be heading back out to the track! The only thing I'd worry about is clearance issues with the 102 and EWP as I've heard others have had fitment problems, Chris

Did you end up seeing any problems? I installed mine yesterday on my LS3 and am having clearance issues with my stock water pump? It resting pretty good against it. Did you remove material off anything?

Thanks
Ken
