Yes still running the std LS2 tb.
I had no issues at all with the car after fitting.
Started 1st time and idle perfectly, already had a 212/218 cam fitted with stock stall before fitting the Fast102.
I do a lot of slow speed hilly driving around my way and you can definitely feel the extra bottom and mid range punch from the Fast102 v LS2 manifold.
I haven't had time to do a touch up tune so haven't pushed it too hard as I have read that the Fast102 can send the A/F ratio a little leaner.
Although there are plenty who have fitted with no tunes at all and they haven't had any problems (US forums).
The only major fitment problem I had (on an LS2) was that the rear engine lifting ring has to be removed from the rear of the head as the manifold is bigger overall than the LS2 IM.
A minor thing was the map sensor wiring only just makes the distance as the map sensor on the 102 is central to the tb where as the LS2 is on the left.
With the wiring harness rerouted towards the inside of the left fuel rail I was able to reach the sensor.
Might lengthen the 3 wires later on and put the wiring harness back where it normally should be.
