I was able to take it for a spin during lunch, since it is dry and beautiful out today. (55 and rainy on install day, 75 and sunny during work week bleh)

It has alot of punch, something I was really wanting. I did notice one problem, my gas mileage seems to have dropped considerably, and it seems like I hear this loud whine everytime it goes down

This is a known "defect" with the X-Charger. It's very presence under the hood seems to trigger the gas pedal spending more time near the floorboards than usual

Congrats

Man, I can't stop smiling. Even normal everyday driving is fun now. Oh and who said you can't do burnouts in an auto I don't need to power break nothing!

Removing and Re-installing the belt is super easy.

There are a few tools that would help with the installation, but typical mechanics tools will work.

You are in Houston, I can help with the install if you would like and also you and your dad are welcome to check out my car if you would like too
