for 7-8 lb's just use the fmu and missing link that came with the kit. Grab some 1 or 2 step colder plugs, make sure your plug wires are good to go. Then make sure ther basic maintenance doesnt need done like oil changes, timing belt, ect...

With the FMU i recomend you running a inline pump a high pressure one. There was a big thing over if the 255lph intank built or held enough fuel psi as a inline. I myself say go with the inline, had problems with just the intank with a FMU
