Brian, you got a sweet GT-S, but I've gotta disagree w/ you about LC...  I won't EVER pay their over-priced gouging again if someone else has the same (or even similar) part.
My over-bored TB nearly came apart, I'm now running a 5MGE TB.  I did like my LC EFI Pro cam, but Crane grinds 'em, and LC "requires" new rockers to back their warranty.  Other cam makers don't require rockers (which cost more than the cam!!).  LC's EFI system?  SDS.  LC is a machine shop that out-sources the other stuff, and charges quite a bit of overhead for their parts locating efforts.  I bet my BMW fuel pump wouldn't have cost as much from Schuck's if I'd known what to ask for...
