Alright thats it....I've stood by and seen many posts by Spin offering ANY help he can, to WHOEVER needs, it FOR FREE and have not said a thing....and that just wont do. I'm at a loss for words to describe his generosity and willingness to help others, but simply put, he is a truly incredible person. Thanks for bein here for us all Spin.

Besides modding and installing my Fast 90, for free, Spin has also spent a lot of time scanning my Ls2 with his laptop for any adverse parameters, and made some adjustments. BTW, when I cammed the car there was some minor exhaust fumes at idle, he made some changes on his lap top, and fumes are now none existent. Thanks again Spin man, drop me a call when you get back and dinner at your choice of restaurant.

Spin,
I appreciate the generous offer; however, I thought I might give it a go.
BTW be prepared for an onslaught of questions from me soon.

Anyway, Craigster05 is up next. He got the manifold delivered for 715 with shipping and the total for all mods to get it to work will likely be 55 bucks including o-rings, brass fitting, portwork, MAP relocation, reseal, and....paint which will be a really nice job.

$770 is the total unless he wants to make a small donation to St Judes.

It includes install too.

I don't know if it's already been posted, so if it has forgive me, but can anyone comment on what type of washers are used as spacers for the fuel rail? I'm going to be doing my install this weekend. Thanks again for all the information posted so far and your sharing of this knowledge Spin!

3/4 inch diameter metal washers with a center hole big enough for the fuel rail screws to get through. They are just used to hold it down and not as a spacer. It is kind of self explanatory when you put the fuel rail on. The holes dont line up with the fuel rail mounting tabs so the washers give more surface area to grab.
