Good to know they include what's needed to get the A/F under control. You had me worried for a moment that you might end up blowing an engine (would be a shame after putting in all the hard work and money).

You always hear people talk about the Chevy 350 market, but most people, like you said, don't realize how good the 302 market is. There's even a book out that explains all the stuff available for small block Fords (EFI or carb'd).

Yes, the diesel market is big and getting bigger every day. Its not just the size of the market that drives it, its the fact that diesel owners are willing to spend money to get what they want and/or need. You don't see diesel guys hacking together an engine on the weekend because they have to get to work on Monday. They need things that work and work reliably for a long time (afterall, many of them use the truck for work). Diesel owners also tend to research more and buy things that work. You don't see Powerstrokes with Tornado's in the intake! Not saying there aren't a lot of gas guys that go for performance (I love old big blocks!) instead of gimmicks, its just that any one can buy a gasser and claim Slick 50 increased their engine life and lowered their 1/4 mile times!
