Stay away from FAST, I and a few other guys I raced with ran it in our offroad rigs. Go with Holley, and make sure all your grounds are solid.

Solid and separated from all other grounds.

When you say separate from others do you mean then that it is a floating ground?

not floating,thats a bad thing for the ecu and sensors,,he means a different solid ground point and usually have it go back to the battery terminal.ground loop noise is always a problem w/ high energy ignitions,just trying to keep that noise in check.

Separate by not putting any of the EFI or ECM ground wires on the same bolt or stud as any other systems grounds especially if the other ground has a relay in it. The head or block are good isolators and normally have a few extra threaded holes that are not being used. More important than any of it is to run the main +/- for the ECM directly to the battery no mater how far away it is.

not quite true,,O2 is for setting and keeping the afr's in check when in closed loop mode or O2 real time correction.Speed densty is just the type of control,it uses the MAP sensor and then theres the other type that uses the MAF(mass air flow) and for really big cams,there is Alpha-n,which just uses the TPS sensor.
