Default Charger installation

For all those do-it-yourselfers out there, is it terribley difficult to put the charger on the LS1?

It's not to bad if you have basic mechanical experience. Installing a kit is pretty much like putting a big puzzle together but directions that tells you which piece goes on next. Tuning on a stock/mildly modified car isn't to bad. The Vortech kit comes with everything you need including programming. It's a little more work when you get into a heavily modified car.
