I'll have to say you are damn lucky to have such a great installer in the family.
Can you imagine the price an installer would have charged. Not to mention trying to find one that can actually make it look that nice.

Dude, that is like having Lingenfelter... well okay not him, but it is definately a lot better than having your dad be an $sshole carpenter.
Yeah he makes gorgeous custom $4k quality cabinets, but who the hell wants a custom machined cabinet with a purple heart bowtie emblem sitting in their engine bay.

For LS1 coils im using the LTCC ignition.
I dynod it today on a land & sea dyno which reads almost exactly like a mustang dyno give or take 5hp. I put down untuned in 100% humidity, 322rwhp and 321rwtq with a 9.4 air/fuel. So theres probebly around 40 more hp after a good tune. In comparison, they had a cammed, exhaust, boltons, ls1 with a 150shot that runs lowlow 11's put down 420rwhp. And a Dodge Magnum rated at 425hp from factory put down 320rwhp. So considering that my numbers arnt all that bad. After I get it tuned I'll let ya'll know what it does and then i'll post my graph.

And nope, still don't have it dyno tuned like it should be. I recently bought a NX plate kit, and will be putting that on with a NOS progressive controller sprayin a 150 shot.
