Apparently it didn't go all that well since he hasn't made it home yet.

Thank you freq. I couldn't have done it without you. Appreciate the help.

The car feels FSLKNP$()*GN$(P#*^@)$CKING amazing! The engine probably feels 10x smoother because the spark plugs were torqued down though. But regardless, all seems very well.

It's a tedious job, but with the right tools, definitely can be done fairly quickly.

The throttle cable and the spark plugs probably were the bulk of the difference you felt.

Either way, I'm glad you can feel the difference.

Congrats on 100K too.

Now you need a WTB thread for an OEM intake tube.

It should be wtb: intake. =)

Actually, I'd be willing to just buy piping at homedepot and hook it up to my drop in k&n.
