so the kit is all bolted up now? Have you drove it at all? How long would you say the complete install look and difficulty of it? Any issues you could address so i could get around the same problem easier? Thanks!

it took a little while because there are a lot of little things that take a while...running lines all the way back to the rear....i think it was easy overall and i was doing it with jacks and jack stands.....

billy at trt was a HUGE help and i could not have figured some of that stuff out without him....ok maybe i could have but it would have taken a lot longer.

i have driven it and its slow...but that is because the mail order break in tune had 0 timing and runs rich....

i got the grill from stull...it was expensive but totally worth it....(search you will find it)

i cant wait to get this car a dyno tune...i want it to go faster!!!

btw...it sounds like a jet!


THANK YOU TRT!!!!!!!!!!!!

the charge pipe after the maf that comes up the the engine bay is a tight fit, the oil sending unit bolt was impossible to fit back in with the cat in the way, that is all i can think of now but if i come up with anything else i will let you know.......where are you buying your kit from?, i would seriously recomend trt because he has great prices and great service...so far no complaints
