What kind of sticking issues does the FAST have. More info please. Is it the linkage or is it the cable? Is this anecdotal?

If Fast truly has a sticking issue, it should be examined.

Once it gets hot under the hood it sticks, and hangs the idle. A carb return spring fixes it, but man, for that kind of cheddar they should just make it RIGHT!

Bracket comes with Holley T/B. Should not be too difficult to fab? I would buy a bracket for a LS1 and go from there?
