Mike does do great work. He recently put a comp cam kit in my 00 SS and dialed it in flawlessly. Thanks Mike.

hand tools in a driveway man, no problems. The swap gets easier and easier the more you throw money at it, so a speartech harness and an efi fuel upgrade kit and most of my worries would have been out the window =D
