Ausgezeichnet! Will the documentation be sufficient for us weekend wrenches to do the installation ourselves?

Hi Andrew,

>DR are those (valve covers) powder coated or just polished?

Polished with the "recessed" areas painted silver metallic.

Hi Mark,

>Will the documentation be sufficient for us weekend wrenches to do the installation ourselves?

Yes, and we plan to include a DVD Video of an actual installation including step by step instructions.

Since we will be pre-assembling everything here it will be basically dropping in the SC/Intake/IC assembly and installing your fuel rails (injectors will be pre installed also) and hooking up precut hoses and fittings. Should be able to be done in one day. After your intake etc is removed I would guess 6-8 hours for install, maybe even less.

Hi Tom,

>Yes..Dave...you need to get one out to Sharktoberfest......

That would be incredible and I still haven't rulled it out. Unfortunately the Frenzy and Sharktoberfest are on back to back weekends (plan to discuss this with Larry for next year) and the drive time alone would almost be impossible. Plus, I still have to try and get the Euro S 16v Proto done. Maybe someone with a C-130 could help me out???

Tony and Derek,

In all the excitement I somehow missed that question, sorry.

>Also, i know you say it is a Kit, but for many of us who have done these installs already, will the >individual items needed to bring ours to the level you have be available for indvidual purchase or as >and upgrade kit? Somehting to think about in teh future! I love it!

I will be happy to work with any of the guys with an upgrade kit. I am not sure how much is compatible as my system is very different (one example is the SC is farther forward etc.)

Excellent.

Perhaps Andy will chime in and advise which parts will be/won't be compatible.

Excellent work...looks great!! It is great that you & Andy worked together!

Heres a ?? Will the stock cruise control still work? I look forward to the dyno numbers...my guess is about 25+ hp/psi gain! On your GT it should be well over 400whp!
