good to know. thanks for the appreciated advice, ill have to reconsider the wiring harness. i did know that the pcm would need to be reprogrammed, and budged in 300$ for that. am i understanding this correct, if i sent my wiring harness in and specified what all sensors im running, ill get it back with all the wires labelled and extra lenght if need?

It was really easy to do.
the mounts are from ebay ( i think they cost me 38 shipped) and im using tubular engine stands from performanceonline.com
it mounts up perfect..... ill post a pic if i can find one.
