You dork, read above!

I reserved the posts for the install.

Read the last (2) posts of the install.

Beers have been flowing plentiful for the duration of the install.

Hahaha!

Not tonight. I've got some buddies coming down tomorrow, so I'm waiting until they get here to mount it up.

Tonight, we drink!!!

I saw it. I said it in jest.

I figure any grown man calling another grown man a dork was known to be joking.

No offense man.

Cheers!

That video gives me the chills! How long after that first drive did it take to get the smile off your face?

Simply awesome. Are you running any gauges? I just bolted on a Brenspeed V3 blower on my 07 a couple weeks ago myself. Love the blue valve covers. It looks OEM and clean. Like you special ordered a Mustang GT with a Shelby GT500 engine

Congrats on completing the install. I'm sure it's just as good of a feeling driving it as it is knowing you did it yourself, I know I feel that way about mine.

Yeah, I'm running the Dual Aeroforce Interceptors on here. I monitor Oil Temp, Coolant Temp, Air Fuel for Both Banks, RPM, MPH, Boost, etc....they are great gauges!

I run the Autometer NEXUS gauges in my Kenne Bell '05. I monitor the A/F, the Boost, and the Fuel Pressure in that one.

Get that intercooler as soon as you can. It'll make a huge difference for you. I honestly would've suggested holding out on the kit until you can swing an intercooler. Unless you got a killer deal on a used kit.

Good luck with your car too man! The FI 3V's are no joke either!

Of course! The self install will not only allow you to learn that much more about your car, but you will also be able to do everything as clean as your time allows!

I know I went back several times and repeated steps, after learning later in the process that I could've routed things cleaner. Just in an attempt to have the cleanest possible install.

The car is running great!

I just went out and tried to get some killer GoPro footage, and I just came back home to realize the back-up battery was dead as well! I got a total of 15 seconds of footage! FML!
