Thanks everyone, appreciate all the kind words. 4 days later and still running fine.

Color matches extremely well to the OEM one.

Yeah about 5 ½ to 6psi is about right for the HBP

I was able to continue having the tranny warranty through a local dealer. If you plan on having this done I’d definitely see what your local dealers think about mods. I’ll PM you regarding the price.

No this is it, other then some rubber and the brakes that are waiting to go in the modding with this car is over.

Yeah definitely. Even the techs who did the install were like “watch those belts!.” Thanks for all the info on the gauges Smitty. Helped out big time in picking these.

I am very happy for you. I know that you have waited quite a bit but It looks like it was worth the wait. I agree with the dyno and track. When is that in the forecast...shall we say hurricane 'Chap' is on the loose??

Thanks Jorge.

I'll be tracking sometime this fall and the place that did the install is gonna be doing dyno's soon so hopefully that will be in the near future.

It was actually shifting pretty smooth before the install, but at higher speeds it does actually feel to shift a bit smoother.

Nah no IC. I'm more then content right now with how it is. If down the road i feel there still isn't enough power, i'll have to wait for the next car to fix that.

[QUOTE=Time For Sleeep-And where would you get the color of your gauges changed?[/QUOTE]

Not the stock gauges but the Autometer ones i added with the S/C install. They're backlit by a bulb, which with the use of a colored cover, they can change the color of the lit up gauge.
