Actually I think that those prices are pretty good. TPI parts are not cheap.

Fast Toys is located in my home town here in Canada.
So keep in mind you'd be ordering American parts from Canada.
The reason us Canadians like them so much is because we don't have to deal with crappy shipping prices and Canada customs and their mean duty charges.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Damn free traid. It should work both ways.

Actually, some of those prices aren't too bad. That's one of the least expensive LT1 regulators I've seen.

I wonder if FastToys allows for the US/CAN exchange rate? Wouldn't a set of $250 SLP runners cost like $20 US :lala:

You know what I am gett ing at........

All their prices are in US dollors so you'd just be paying for shipping. I don't think you'd have to pay a duty charge though because of free trade.
Canamerica hmm.
It wouldn't work. The governments would implode with all the confusion.
Then north america would be like mad max.

Or something like that.

Well I TPI sure looks good but for all that money I could be putting in more HP by changing out things like the cam, crank, pistons, heads, and stuff like that.
