Is the link I posted the pump kit to get from racetronix. It doesn't specify the type of pump in the description.

The Pacesetter header install went flawlessly. Had no issues with header bolts or clearance. The wires weren't hard at all to get out with long pliers and leverage against the valve covers.

Coil Packs Removed




Passenger manifold removed



Both Manifolds removed

Pacesetters wrapped in titanium wrap. I did not enjoy the wrapping process. What a pain.

I have some gray mounts I haven't installed. He has improved the mounts and they no longer fail like that. Just call him he'll replace them for free.

CS is sending me out a new set. They did require a deposit or the original mounts. Ya suckas must have been scamming them. Also still waiting for my msd wires and plugs from Nasty Performance if those ever arrive.

Had a crappy sleep last night because now I am kinda pissed that I may have to remove my headers to install these new motor mounts. Two steps forward three steps back....sigh.

Don't get too bent outta shape. Every time you take those headers off it gets easier. I think I did it two or three times during my recent heads project while the car was on jack stands. The last time I put them back in I did it without anyone holding a primary while I started threads.

Very nice wrap job!

At least you have a lift so whipping those motor mounts won't be that hard. Nice garage!

Oh man, my wrap job is horrid, there are strings all over the place. The pictures just make it look better. I figure function over looks. Still glad I did it.

Even so, you can barely see it when on the car so who cares. You are exactly right.....as long as it works (which it totally does) who cares what it looks like.
