For the moment I'm going to have a very safe/fat tune, unlike before, so if I see 700-750rwhp with no meth, Ill be as happy as a fat kid during Thanksgiving

Also updated my build list to include an McLeod RXT clutch and steel FW. Now Im not sure if I can afford the chicken and rice...might be eating chicken noodle soup.

I ordered them through Hinson - they have them in stock and were about the cheapest I found.

Personally im doing the bullion cubes, but I heard good things about Swanson...

Ill check with them on the injectors. Are they flow matched? I found the flow matched LU08 ( 80# FRPP injectors ) for 440
