Love the FAST products and +1 on the billet rails. I will be doing the same package possibly this winter, but I need to see if FAST 102 TB has the option of retaining the DBW of the stock LS2 TB.

If anyone knows the answer to this please feel free to chime in. Thanks.

I also am considering a fast intake. Not sure if I will go 90 or 102mm yet. I may just end up making my own intake though.

Okay since its kind of in the mid of the week I decided to update this thread with a little tease pic of my new wheels that are on the way..



Now these are going to be my show wheels/ meet wheels. Specs are

19x11 0 offset
19x13-20 offset

I am in the process of buying about 8-12 wheels ( of course DPEs) for drift spares. These will be 18x9.5 - offset and 18x12- offset.. (and they will be all black too)

Hope you guys like..

Happy Labor day guys/girls!!! So I thought I would do this quick update before I start BBQing.

Lets kick it off with the beer of the week, which is Magic Hat 'Summer: Wacko',, Great summer beer has a big malty aroma, a subdued hop bite and a clean, slightly sweet finish.. Def good with BBQs

Today's update is a small one. I am going to install my coil packs, spark plugs and wires.

MSD Plug Wires and NGK spark plugs: $79.99
Coils and bracket:$115.00

So I got the bracket and it was the wrong one. No problem, I'll just make new holes to mount the up. Also painted the bracket a gold finish..
