That's why I have this thread. Seems most folks don't talk to vendors or lay out a good plan of attack on how to spend their money the right way the first time. Little things like buying really good injectors can make or break how a car is tuned and how it idles/drive at part throttle.

Hmmm.... Btw the HPS pads are for my Nissan. If I like them I might go with HPS on the T/A as well.
FAST goes out of their way to package this stuff. Which is nice considering the price.
And here is one reason I picked up the FAST:
Should help with light throttle to make for a more progressive pedal feel.
Overall, it's a damn nice piece. Comes with instructions and all needed hardware.

That's my motto.
Only a few things left. Pushrods (once I measure), rockers (again, once I break the engine down, I'll just reuse my stockers with either Comp or CHE upgraded Trunions), and the exhaust system. And all the little miscellaneous bolts/gaskets/fluids.

Yeah, me too. I hope the stock 10-bolt and 4L60E hold together for a few passes. My next round of upgrades are a built trans and S60, which I know is backwards, but for a street car, those should hold up to just driving around for a little while. That way I can enjoy the power for a while and then bulletproof it.
Then I'll do a 370 and probably upgrade the cam a bit... maybe an EPS 234/246 111? Haha it'll never end!

My wife thinks I'm nuts, she looked at a package slip of one of my shipments I got in the mail... She almost fainted lol
I'm kinda numb to spending high dollars now! When I see a big price I just shrug my shoulders and say oh well, gotta get it
