Yeah, heat/humidity in Florida during the summer kills me too working on something. Take your time, you're almost done!

When I installed my headers it was about 100 with 100% humidity I couldn't work for more then 3 minutes before there was litterly gallons of sweat dripping off my back. Felt like a freaking river was running down it. I worked all day and till about 2 am that night. Craziness.

I've been putting my new setup in for 2 days straight. I've never had so many problems in all my life. Expect a full report once (if?) I get the bitch together.

It's been crazy hot outside, so yesterday I went and bought this bad boy.....

Best $120 I ever spent, even if it IS blasting you with 100* air, it's better than no air at all lol. Laying under the car was the best spot to be, my carport got blown away thanks to hurricane Rita and we've been dragging our feet on getting a new one.

Get a spark plug socket on it then put an open end wrench on the hex part of the socket.
