Default Good trade or Bad trade

Alright here is the situation; I bought a lot of parts for my new FRC including a FAST 92/92 set up. The Vette already has a H/C/full LG exhaust. I am running the stock injectors and the tuner said I will probably max them out with the intake/TB install, so I am offering a trade. Let me know if you think it is fair or am I asking too much for what I am offering.

WHAT I HAVE

Parts from a 2000 Corvette FRC with approximately 50,000 miles on them.

1. Fully assembled Stock Heads (very clean)
2. Stock cam (very clean)
3. Stock Intake with the Throttle Body ( soon to be swapped off the car)

WHAT I WANT TO TRADE FOR

1. LS1 42# injector set.

What do you think?

Dave

Just put the stuff up on the board and sell it for what you can and buy new injectors and get it done. Why pay games with trying to trade? Maybe I just don't understand this marketing strategy. Best of luck.

Heres the story, I bought a clutch system, intake,TB, poly mounts and tune up items It was all about 3000.00 now I did not realize the install was so extensive and expensive (military budget) I have the money for a tune and the install but thats really still pushing it. I asked the shop if they would consider a trade but I want to make sure I am not asking for too much, I know there is really not much of a market for take off LS1 parts. I was just hoping for some of the forum members opinions on my situation. I would put them up for sale here but I will not be in one place for too long and I need the injectors soon.

There's only one way to find out... Post it up in the parts section for sale or trade (with pictures)

You can have the intake swappd now (so you'll have the stock one available for sale) and then later swap the injectors and do the tune.

The chances of finding somebody with injectors who's willing to swap for stocks parts are much lower than Obama's chances of being re-elected. Very low.

It will most likely become a sale/purchase scenario.
