flat out, do a direct kit if you can afford it.

always check your lines, and put a filter inline...just because you have a direct kit setup on your ride does not mean it is fail proof...littlest spec of dirt especially on the fuel side of a jet thats only compensating for 20-30hp can cause you a nightmare. always check your plugs, they can tell you if you've been pinging, on the ragged edge, or clean as a whistle. also invest in all of your safety equipment. like fuel pressure safety switches, oil pressure safety switches, bottle heater (or a push system, which i prefer), window switch, etc. don't 1/2 ass it.
