I've been thinking about putting a zz430 in my RS also.You won't be able to use your stock tpi,it won't bolt up to the fastburn heads.If you still want tpi you can use a miniramIII on it(what I'm planning),or use a carb.With the torque that motor puts out you will definately want to do some suspension mods.....subframe connectors at least....
