Finished the install today

Assembled the throttle body

Assembled the air box

Installed the wiring harnesses

Filled up the reservoir and radiator

Installed the tune via the handheld and software

I took it for a short test drive. Runs like stock, shifts like stock which is very nice. There is a noticeable kinda whistle at all normal driving conditions but man oh man does this thing whine like my ex wife!! I really don't know why my car does not whine like this does but wow, I love it lol.

That's all I have for you right now. I have to put the grill and all the other things I took off back on tomorrow. I'm going to let it run to check for leaks and warm the oil for the change to full synthetic then Ill go for a good test drive and then I will update everyone.

That's great. I love the forced-air sound, whether it's from on top or from below!

That's awesome, looking good. Take some videos when you go for a test drive so we can hear the whine!

Nice. Both of the videos worked for me. The second one looked like a very quick pull to 60. Lol

Thank you, it was a blast. The video does not even come close to the volume of whine actually produced.

Goodbye gas mileage .............
