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

Jake, great build thread. Great parts and even better planning for what parts to get on your part. Should be a real killer on the streets.
