Default Thanks from someone lurking... FAST + a few other things ordered

Hi everyone,

Just like to say thank you for all the great information provided by everyone here. I haven't been actively participating but I certainly have been learning.

Yesterday I made the move to make changes to my recently acquired 2000 Z28. The car already had MAC headers on it and an upgraded cam and a bunch of other mods and it clearly wasn't getting enough air, so I decided that the FAST intake + throttle body made the most sense. Also previous owners hadn't done a few things that to me were pretty obvious.

So once everything arrives I'll be doing the following:

FAST intake + 90mm throttle body
Upgrade all hoses
Replacing all the spark plugs
New ignition wiring
Misc stuff (new front brakes, clean up, coolant change, etc).


Should be interesting....

I'll have a look at that after I finish this round of upgrades, get a good tune and a coupe of runs...

Upgrade the sound system as well first.
