@@Toys4Life The Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) sensor is responsible for sending air temperature information to the ECM. It’s located directly underneath the intake plenum. Due to this location the sensor picks up engine heat and the air temp readings are incorrect, or at the least “not optimal.”
Agreed, but as you get going down the road it sustain speed it gets within a few degrees typically, but the heat soak effect can last for quite a while at low speeds. I think it's a good mod, as long as it is still put in a reasonable spot. For some reason my C5 IAT temps get closer to ambient/realistic a lot quicker than the C6, the C6 takes its sweet time at speed for about 15 minutes to get there.
@QUIKSIX1 Yes but aftermarket ones have about the same failure rate as OEM ones. So in this instance since it's been a good sensor, I'm choosing to leave it. Perhaps the smartest thing to do would be to install a remote oil pressure sending unit line which would make it easier in the future, but I didn't.
I did not, I'm not sure if there needed structurally or what the originally OE design was all about. I'll keep this manifold structurally intact in case I ever supercharge so that it can handle the extra PSI (:-)
@@Toys4Life The original pillar design started with the LS1. The pillars were there to minimize harmonic resonance. The pillars are a carry over only to the later LS6 & Ls2. I ported my LS2 manifold by removing the pillars and port matched at the head. I did not hear any resonance I didn't like, lol.
I don’t think the gain will be significant at peak. Maybe some good gains through the rpm range. Episode 3 will tell me if I’m right or wrong. I have an ls3 which probably has a better intake to begin with. I’ve researched this for my car and the gains weren’t worth the $. Hope you surprise me! Great video as always.
Eagerly waiting for Part 3. We have very similar cars (mine is auto 2006) so your testing directly applies. Keep 'em comin!
Mine is A6 2006 also😎
My LS2 ended up with 400 whp 430 tq with FAST, Headers, CAI and tune
Nice!
Another very informative video. You always do a great job of explaining the how's and why's.
Part 3 is going to be fun.
I hope you make some good gains. Especially considering the amount invested. 😊
I hope so too!
Nice tutorial, very well presented as are all of your videos, great job, keep us updated on the numbers!
Thanks! Part 3 is out!
If you have to a torx socket bit can work in a stripped out hex.
Think of it this way too, in stock form the heads will be more of a restriction than the intake manifold when using the fast102.
Are a set of ported heads in the future?
Great watch!
Nice work.
Thanks for all your vids, you make me want a corvette for some fun track days I can drive to!
Love your vid style bud. Can't wait to see her rip!
Appreciate that sir!
Greetings, The LS4 Intake manifold was the worst flowing LS manifold to limit the HP to protect the front wheel drive powertrain. Regards,
Thank you, I learned something 😀
thanx
Is the instalation of the fast 102 that you performed on the c6 the same for a c5 ive been wanting to but it but heard the install is complicated?
Definitely more complicated on the C5!
Very informative video!
Please do video, about intake air sensor relocated on c5 corvette
You're really insistent upon this. What's your specific concern/why do you think you want to do this?

Had you considered replacing the oil pressure sensor while there was plenty of access?

just wondering though .... was the 102 mm tb installed over a stock intake ?
Questions my stock mas flow sensor is in the throttle body why i need to drill the manifold for the mas flow sensor 🤔
You're drilling the hole for the MAP sensor not the maf sensor.
@Toys4Life 🤣🤣ohh ok thanks sr..
A fast intake really needs to be ported to shine.
That may be true - any data links would be appreciated!
did you consider removing the pillars on the original manifold ?
I did not, I'm not sure if there needed structurally or what the originally OE design was all about. I'll keep this manifold structurally intact in case I ever supercharge so that it can handle the extra PSI (:-)
@@Toys4Life thanks for the response. Was curious of any gains. Maybe you can pick one up from the junkyard 😃

The LS3 *definitely* has a better intake to begin with, which is why they don't really gain much with a FAST.
@@nowayjose596 yes, I’m pretty sure that is what I remember reading. Thank you for confirming.
Are you able to use the stock coil covers with this manifold? Juust bought a set painted atomic orange.
Check out tomorrow's video for the answer 😁
Is the stock LS3 manifold any better on a 2010 vs LS2 manifold?
YES
Do any of your cars have a catch can?
Not yet :-)
@Toys4Life might be a cool video to do. Is a catch can worth it?
2000 pretty close to a stock super charge !
?
$1775 for an (ported) intake? Jeez😮
I know, that's a third of the way to a supercharger kit.
part 1.5
works
All that money at garbage bolt heads?
What's a garbage bolt head?
@@Toys4Life The low profile that stripped.
Gotcha. Yeah I'm not positive if it was crappy quality or if my 5 mm was worn just enough. I bought a new 5 mm though just in case!
Looks hard. Not for me.
