The pvc vent line on the valve cover serves as an intake line when the engine is near or at idle. Having that routed into the valley cover pcv creates a really strong vacuum. The only way to get around this is to have a filtered breather cap so there can be air intake into the crankcase(with your current setup). Try it out, when its running take your hand and put it over the oil fill hole. There will be a really strong vacuum.
I just watched your video on the intake install and what I love most about your video.....is that you respond to almost all of the comments asking questions. That is a rarity and I fully appreciate your willingness to help. Thank you. Subscribed.
MY FAVORITE VIDEO SO FAR!!! Super awesome Chris!!! 😎 Dang that C5 sounds awesome even not being tuned. But when it is... OH MAN!!! 😃 Seen every video you have ever made and I ask ONE favor... give me a cold start when you get that tuned. 😉 It’s going to sound INSANE!!! 🤪
While you have the valley pan exposed, bolts off, and everything else out of the way, maybe should inspect / replace those 2 knock sensors. They sit kinda deep in cups that like to fill up with dirt and water. Then when reinstaling put a thin circle of high temp sealent under those rubber caps. Also, GM makes foam insulators that block the recess between the intake and the valley pan front and rear. I've worked on several LS and LM7 and I put in double insulators front and back and never ever blast that front recess opening with a pressure washer or garden hose.
Good job! I always like your videos because you spell it out so easy for people like me to do ours! PS. I loved the flared rear quarter panels I will be doing that & maybe put an offer out for your LS6 intake manifold for my "99" C-5
Installing my Fast 92 intake now on my 2000, My question is HOW did you torque the rear manifold bolts to spec? I can even get a socket wrench on there, non the less a torque wrench. Please give guidance! Lol 😂
I just purchased that intake and I wanted to know did you use your stock fuel rails what year Corvette is that I know it’s a C-5 LS six correct also do you have a part number for the fuel injectors you are running Also the intake had some boats that had nuts on them looking like it was holding it together where the mounting holes are are these the boat to use to mount it to the engine
Hi, nice video. Curious on how you connect the 1/16” HVAC vacuum tube on the rear of the FAST. The port seems to be too far from the tube. Did you extend the tube?
Hi, nice video. Wondering if you still have your 92MM FAST intake since you installed the LSA blower. I’m looking to buy a used one. Let me know, thanks
Great video, few questions, What all does it take to convert over to this? I saw where you put a new ls2 throttle body on, so im guessing the ls1 won't fit. I need to do a catch can and if I was to do this mod I would go ahead and add that into the mix since I will already be in there. After this mod does it require a tune?
Because you have to use a silver blade LS2 throttle body on C5 application. Gold blade throttle bodies open in the opposite direction and have tuning issues.
Ok thanks. I current have a BBK 80mm throttle body on my LS6 manifold. Would I also need to upgrade the BBK throttle body if I switch to the FAST 92mm manifold?
What made you decide to go with the 92mm instead of the 102mm? Just curious as i am about to do the same mod and im trying to decide on which size to go with.
@@mycorvettelife are your motor mounts stock or is it because you have bigger mounts than stock? I know you have different heads as well, so wasnt sure if that is the general rule or if it was just the case in your setup? Thanks in advance for your help. Your videos are great. I especially like it when you have trouble with things, installation or fitment. It lets me known I'm not the only one that has trouble with thing when doing my own work. But you handle it much better than myself lol.
did your car come w/ that LS6 intake and if so does it bolt right up w/o any mods to anything for a perfect fit.....thanks I have a 98 i plan on doing a few mods' Going to get the courage to pull my intake manifold if i can't change oil sending unit w/o removing it
The idiots in California were not going to give me a smog certificate cuzz they said my C6 had modified exhaust...it’s factory dual mode...right on the original window sticker I showed them...after a couple calls to the Chevy dealer they finally relented...and this state wonders why ppl register their vehicles out of state...SMMFH
Very interesting video, Chris! I have a C5 Engine running in my 00 Formula Clone with DBW TB from BBK and C5 TAC Module, as well to keep the car perfectly running. Since I've heard You're doing a FAST 92 swap including a 90mm LS2 DBW TB I'm interested on this project. I hope You get it running without any issues with the TAC Module because I've read some horrible stories that the LS2 TB does not fit the LS1 DBW specs in the TAC Module. The adaptors for the LS2 DBW TB is obvious and I really hope You got luck, so I can plan a similar project on my car. Let us know what tuning has to be done in the PCM, please. I really appreciate Your work and enthusiasm. Regards from germany
@@mycorvettelife im performing the same upgrade with the MSD ATOMIC AIRFORCE INTAKE, but in the video you said the TB was an " LS2 STYLE " or was it actually an LS2 90mm TB if not what is the part number for the TB and also the adapter cable conversion for the ls2 to ls1 conversion.
Hii Chris. I have a facebook site in Denmark " Corvette C5 Danmark" I share your vidoes there so people in Denmark can learn how to do. Thank you four all your videos i think you are the bedst.
Hi Chris thanks for this great video. I have a stock 99 c5 and if I want to install this fast 92mm intake manifold what parts I would needed? So I can follow this video after . Do you have a list and links of those parts? Thank you in advance and I know you are busy and I am kind of hesitate to ask this long question. Your videos motivated me to buy my c5 a year ago :)
@@mycorvettelife Thanks Chris for the reply :) my main motive is to just increase some horse power but budget is around $1500. Can you suggest what would be best way in my case?
Chris, nicely done video. I’m about to do a FAST 92 intake on my car - just to be clear. When you updated your injectors, looks like you got the same heigh injectors (but with different electrical connector) and your stock fuel rail fit over the FAST intake? That is, no need to get the $200 FAST billet fuel rail kit? Thanks!
You can reuse the stock fuel rail. Yes, the injectors have the newer style harness plugs. I recommend requiring your harness with the newer style plugs. I chose to use adapters and they ended up causing issues.
UPDATE! PCV/Catch Can Plumbing

"May require a few curse words"
Good thing I have a huge surplus of those.
This is a huge help. Best video I've seen on an intake swap. I will be swapping my 2004 GTO intake to a FAST 92mm intake.

THIS IS CORRECT! I apologize for the incorrect info.
@@mycorvettelife yep. This is what caused the rear main to fail and make the noise. Glad you found the issue. 👍👍

My compliments, great attitude on how you approach your project organization..................
Thoroughly enjoyed this upload Chris! Thumbs up from me as usual Brother... Stay safe... Rico
Wish you were still on you tube
Looking forward to the numbers after the tune.. I just got an RPM level 5 trans and 2600/2800 stall put in my 04 C5

What timing! I have to replace my oil pressure sensor. I will watch your other video. So helpful thanks 👍

Super awesome video Chris , modern Valve cove and fuel rails maybe , nice job Thanks 😊
Great effort Chris! Look forward to seeing new dyno numbers. Also will be interested in seeing if your oil catch can picks up more oil.
Good vid, thanks for the content Chris!

Is it worth it to change my stock intake and Throttle body........have A&A super charger, cammed, stage 2 heads, long tubes...
Hi, nice video. Curious on how you connect the 1/16” HVAC vacuum tube on the rear of the FAST. The port seems to be too far from the tube. Did you extend the tube?
Hi, nice video. Wondering if you still have your 92MM FAST intake since you installed the LSA blower. I’m looking to buy a used one. Let me know, thanks
Can you post the manufacturer and part number for the fuel injector adapter? Thanks!
Are fast 92mm manifolds the same height as the 102mm?
Great video, few questions, What all does it take to convert over to this? I saw where you put a new ls2 throttle body on, so im guessing the ls1 won't fit.
I need to do a catch can and if I was to do this mod I would go ahead and add that into the mix since I will already be in there.
After this mod does it require a tune?
What TB is that? OEM GM or aftermarket? Was the car throwing Reduced Power Mode? Im trying to get an LS2 TB sorted on my C5 and no luck.
Did you not have to tune it after you put the new intake on
Worth replacing injectors as well? I have about 62xxx mi on my 03 Z06
Where did you get the throttle body harness?
Good job man why did you not use a 92mm throttle body also & that should gain you more horsepower 💯🇺🇸😊✌️
Because you have to use a silver blade LS2 throttle body on C5 application. Gold blade throttle bodies open in the opposite direction and have tuning issues.
What are you doing with the LS6 intake and throttle body?
I would be interested if it fits a stock C5 and offers some increased performance?
What throttle body ?
What kind of air intake are you running. Stock?
Increased power?
What is the fragile sensor attached to the back of the intake manifold? Great video Chris!
MAP sensor
Ok thanks. I current have a BBK 80mm throttle body on my LS6 manifold. Would I also need to upgrade the BBK throttle body if I switch to the FAST 92mm manifold?
why did you go with the fast intake over the MSD airforce
How could I tell if my C5 has a stock manifold?
What made you decide to go with the 92mm instead of the 102mm? Just curious as i am about to do the same mod and im trying to decide on which size to go with.
102 won’t fit under the stock C5 hood without getting shorter motor mounts. The 92 barely fit in my car.
@@mycorvettelife are your motor mounts stock or is it because you have bigger mounts than stock?

Do you have a link for your Lyft
When you changed out the fuel injectors and started it, did it smell like it was super rich?
Could t really smell a difference, but it didn’t run well.
How much HP will this add, is it worth the 1K price tag?
Intake/TB/injectors are worth about 30rwhp. Wether that is worth it is up to you.
@@mycorvettelife I have always heard the rule of thumb is $100 per hp so sounds like not so bad of a trade off
New to the channel and really enjoying the content. Your vids are top notch. Question.. Is that a Nick William LS2 102MM TB?
No. LS2.
Wish I could put that intake on my C5 Z06, but I can't because it would not pass smog here in good old regulated California.
I believe that the c5 zo6 was a 50 state legal car . You might be able to us the intake from a later year car from yours
The idiots in California were not going to give me a smog certificate cuzz they said my C6 had modified exhaust...it’s factory dual mode...right on the original window sticker I showed them...after a couple calls to the Chevy dealer they finally relented...and this state wonders why ppl register their vehicles out of state...SMMFH
Do you know how much hp gain you received from that new throttle body ?

🤷♂️ Never heard of this issue. It’s a pretty common mod.

@@mickfree IT's a LS2 TB. The adapter cable can be purchased from Texas Speed..
Aloha Chris, do you need to drain the coolant to remove the intake manifold?
Mahaho,
-Mike
No
How much, if any, did it lean out your tune?
A lot. It needs to be retuned.
Did you re route your vent steam lines?
I did that back when I converted to LS6.
Hii Chris. I have a facebook site in Denmark " Corvette C5 Danmark" I share your vidoes there so people in Denmark can learn how to do. Thank you four all your videos i think you are the bedst.
🙏🏻 thank you
i gong to install FAST 92mm Intake on mine to i april ,
What did you buy extra when you got the manifold, I just order one but do I need to buy gaskets and intake bolts
No it comes with everything.
Hi Chris thanks for this great video. I have a stock 99 c5 and if I want to install this fast 92mm intake manifold what parts I would needed? So I can follow this video after . Do you have a list and links of those parts? Thank you in advance and I know you are busy and I am kind of hesitate to ask this long question. Your videos motivated me to buy my c5 a year ago :)
Manifold, LS2 Tb, Tb harness extension. That’s it. Tune afterwords. Are you planning on more mods? This intake is a bit overkill on a stock C5.
@@mycorvettelife Thanks Chris for the reply :) my main motive is to just increase some horse power but budget is around $1500. Can you suggest what would be best way in my case?
It's going to cost you at least $500 for a tune alone. I would just save up some more money first.
Otherwise you are going to need a tune again.
@@mycorvettelife thanks Chris 👍

sooooo selling that ls6 intake manifold?
Already sold
Can you come and help install mine?
Hey Chris did you paint your fuel rail or did you buy one already done?
I painted it. I have a video showing the process.
Can i buy stock manifold from you
Already sold.
Want to sell the LS6 intake? About to do cam/heads on my C5.
Chris, please stop saluting with your left hand. It's a sign of disrespect. No military on earth salutes with their left hand.
