I couldn't tell you. I bought the car with the setup it has.
Just need some input from you guys because I seem to get a way faster response on here than on the MSP section, but any who. I plan on getting a SSAFC next month and was wondering what all I need to go with that besides getting it tuned? Gauge, wire, ...? I tend to stay away from installing electronics, because me a electricity do not get along 
Any thoughts Phen, Marlon, anyone?

Everything is complete and in the box. tuning is the most import aspect and you will need a wide band to check your afr's. AEM is a great choice and you can get a good deal on one from Amazon.com. Just find someone with a great deal of electrical knowledge and make sure you solder the wire and not use the clamps. I am sure The Phen will chime in as well at some point too!
Hey Will,
Sorry I haven't been in much to answer you. Sorry to hear about the blown shock as well. To be honest, I ran the shock until it had no more oil to leak, I believe...and then sold it (the set) to Larry and he is still going strong with it, I think, LOL! SO I wouldn't worry too much. Of course, I didn't do any performance driving with the blown shock, but still... you'll be okay. I must've drove 15,000+ miles with it blown. In fact, I didn't ever take a good look at it. Larry might know better about the condition of my struts/shocks.
I'm loving my BC coilovers, for sure. No complaints whatsoever, unless you can call rubbing on the plastic inner liner in the front complaining cause my car settled more than I expected and I iz now slammd!

Side note: Justine's new ride has a little funk soul brotha in it! Check it out now! (lame Fatboy Slim reference)

Congrats Justine. So, when do we start modding that thing?
Yeah, the SSAFC is a really nice package and comes with damn near everything you need. Everything except the WBO2. Haha. Like Marlon said, the AEM is one of the best WB's out there for the money. There are other nice ones, but for the budget minded souls, it's probably the best choice.
Wiring the SSAFC isn't too bad. It's a helluva lot easier than say... building a Megasquirt from scratch.
I did have a question though. Do you have a boost controller of any sort? If so, which one?
Hell ya, I definitely want to go for a ride. I'll have to take you up on that offer.
How's the driving going? Getting better at driving the beast?

congrats Justine on the new ride!
I'm thinking I should've gone with a SSAFC instead of the Haltech, can't seem to find anyone that will tune it here. I thought I had a guy lined up but I haven't heard from him since may and the shop he was gonna do it at (he's independent but rent's their dyno to tune) won't tune it either.
I'm getting a clicking noise on my driver's front, I think it's the brake pad cause it goes away when I hit the brake pedal and on turns. Gonna look at the vac leak today and maybe get that solved.

have you talked to Big 3? they might be able to tune it. If not then talk to Matt @ Slick Motorsports, he knows a good tuner
they're next on my list but I figure I might as well wait till I've get everything figured out before I take it anywhere
