Fass vs. GDP fuel system

I had my Fass installed yesterday, and I'm not happy with it all. From the crimped fuel connectors that fall apart in your hand, to the blown
30amp fuse in the Fass harness, to the constant check engine light with the 628 code from pulling the stock pump relay, the noise, which I didn't notice on my 02 probably because the engine was so loud

, and finally Fass recommends getting power from the cigarette lighter fuse, which is fine until you turn the key to the accessory position to listen to the radio and the Fass pump fires up and all you hear is a loud hum.

After having said all that, I really do feel an increase in performance. It made a defininte improvement with throttle response and made the TST come alive, but I can't live with all the other faults and am strongly considering taking it out and starting over.

Is there anybody out there in a similar situation as me? Anybody that switched systems and still felt the same performance increase?

I came really close to getting the GDP fuel system from the start, now I really wishing I did! Anybody want to buy a Fass cheap?
