    You might get some bits cheaper, and still come out under budget. Just keep an eye out for that perfect bargain!!

    not to mention the big bux EPA test.....

    that is IF you plan to keep it all legal

    failing that... just be ready to change zorst manifolds and injectors for an EPA test!

    not too sure if cream top injectors are 28lb. if they are 706 injectors they are 20.35lb as far as i can tell. 934's (brown top) are 28lb. i got a set of them.. but i am sure they should be good enough anyways.. you have got me inspired. i am going to go into town today and get some things and finish hooking stuff up. and i should organiser the exhaust too. i am hoping i can get it done monday or friday or i will have to wait another week as i won't have the time..
