You still waiting on the pump bracket. If so, that's got to be torture.

It's at the house. Now I'm waiting on me. I'm traveling on business and don't get home until tomorrow. LOL

I put the bumper back on, and I couldn't resist. I had to take it out for a test drive. I drove to the gas station. Topped it off with some fresh 93 octane. Then took it out on Route 93 here in New Hampshire. OMG! That car is fun to drive. The shift points are spot on and it will break the tires loose doing about 45-50 MPH and just stomp on the accelerator pedal. So impressive. It has plenty of power. I liked driving with the advance trac shut down. That was fun.

Glad you got it going and it's fun kicking the rear out.

It's a blast to drive. It really is the ultimate modification for these cars.

There's a shop in the Columbus area, about 2 hours away that I plan to use to tune mine if I ever get it. I'll most likely use the Roush tune in the mean time though.

Robert,

Did you have to send your ecu to Roush for programming? If so, how long was the turnaround time?

Start with the Roush tune. That's what I am doing. I know it is conservative but I don't like to R&R engines either. If you decide you want more you can always get it tuned later.

If I get brave enough to get this blower, I am taking my car to Roush themselves for the installation. I asked them how much for the install and they said they charge $90/hr and it is a 10 hour job for them.

That's a fair price for the install. Why go to Roush directly? Why not go to the dealer? I must say though. The install isn't that challenging.
