My buddy Larry, had a friend help with the install labor and I was there for tech support (broke hand so no physical work). Larry is not the most knowledgable on the F body/LS1 parts Identification and not as mechanically inclined (but he can set up some badass aquariums for real!). Took about 9 hours, total on a lift (again I wasnt there but a total of 2 hours, and Dan probably 6 hrs).
I am still in the process of tuning his car, as most turbo builds go, there are a lot of other things to tidey up, traction, fueling etc, and this one is no exception. Set at 5psi for now, until I finish tuning, get the meth setup working. Then it'll be his decision to push the stock bottom or not.

Hope this helps. FWIW, if you are good with the F body and LS1 you should be able to install this in less time then he has. But here in Hawaii we like to screw around a lot...local time brah!

Finaly I have decided not to spray and go FI if I can use my LT's. Now I just need to know what cam to get with my heads, that will work well with FI.
