I like some of FAST's standalone products like the edist, but for a street car why would you go with FAST?

The OEM stuff works better for street and daily drivers.

I've gone over it more than once on these boards. OEM was designed for drivability. FAST/DFI/TEC-3 was designed for racing only, car show stuff, etc.

I've had people argue with me about this, because they were the proud owners of one of the above mentioned setups. However, they were not the proud understanders of how the OEM stuff works vs aftermarket.

I don't feel a need to argue or explain it anymore. If folks can't search, then hand summit your mastercard.

I've searched many times and with out a explaination how am i suppose to know thats not arguing just wanting a answer. Also this will be a show car maybe driven a dozen times a yr at the most as it is now. Im painting the underside so it wont even go out unless the roads are spotless. I just wanted to see if anyone on here has used the system.

A '67 camaro is a show car.
A '54 corvette is a show car


Theres a lot of things a thirdgen is, but they are all VERY far from a show car!

Well, good for them. I think kandied91z is a local guy, but I don't recall his car.

This is my opinion. Some folks think these cars are gold. I just think they're cheap, easy to work on, and I have a garage full of spare parts.

Thats just one of MANY around..


Spdfrk1990,
If your just gona be showing it and only seeing the track a Dozen times a Year. Dont waste your $ on a Fast setup with wb02
just get your car dyno tuned at a reputable shop.

FAST, Electromotive tec3 are nice but more race geared. If you planed on making a lot of diff changes and trying diff combos more then 2-3 times at the track id say go for it. but for a 90% show car and 5% daily driver and 55 track car stick with your 7730 SD setup. You can get into the low 11's with it.
