Also, Was thinking about replacing my Alternator with a higher performance one, due to me having a rather large stereo system, and since im putting a E-Fan in I think i may have to do this. What do you think, and is there an alternator you would suggest?

Some of them came stock with a 136 amp alternator. It would be a direct bolt-on as well.

So far as I am concerned, there is no such thing really as going 'too big' with the alternator. (so long as it doesn't stall the engine when the field coils are energized. )

No need to pull the injectors or fuel rail when replacing the plenum plate and gasket. Just dissconect the fuel line and it will all come off together.

Wont I risk damaging the Fuel Injectors if I leave them in the intake Manifold. I plan on doing the Kegger Mod since mine is a 96 and has the center divider. Also cut the runners 1.5 "s or 1" and anyone know the optimum angle? Im guessing whatever your cutting tool will allow :P

Sorry about that I read over the part where you said you were going to do the kegger mod. In that case you would definitely want to remove them. The only reason I said you don't need to remove the injectors and fuel rail is because in the Haynes manual it says you need to, and a lot of people follow the book precisely and pull the injectors and fuel rail even though they don't need to.

Goodluck with it all man.

Either of those linked should work just fine, and, even being in cali, I don't think you need a carb EO number for those, do you????
