Lol I know how you feel dude I went to tune last Friday and I wasn't aware that I needed the fuel pressure sensor in order to tune. So I had to get and adaptor from aero motive . I'm tuning Wednesday at 9am at power by the other. Ken is doing my tune.

The biggest draw back about going with the used S/C kit is dissapointment. I just knew when I got back from my deployment that I would be able to hop in my car and drive to the tuner, get all the kinks worked out and go about my buisness. Well (as for me) that was not the case. Till this day, I'm still having issues at idle but finally figured it out (thanks Kerns). Putting the LT's on at the end of the month and taking her back to the tuner 1 May. I'd better see 400+ or someone will get hurt, lol! Also will have to place my IAC tubing closer to the TB. That should rectify my idle issues. All I can say is good luck my man!

There is always something man. When you are doing stuff like this, those little hidden gremlins pop up. Don't worry it will get worked out and you will be on the road.

Yea, piecing took me 6 months I think I can wait a few more days if I absolutely had too.. but I'm missing the good days this week for my vacation! JR called me last night around 5pm they hadn't gotten the shipment in till about 4ish so I had to wait till today but he said once they get in the shop mines first on the too do list and they're calling me for that 1hr drive down. Hopefully I take her back home tonight with 385+ ;]

BTW I just noticed this, but your IAC hose is routed to the wrong spot. You're car won't idle correctly with where its at, and it will be an absolute PITA to tune. You need to have a flange welded on your intake piping after your MAF and before the TB. Then cap off the port on your power pipe and run the hose from your IAC to the new port. I have attached a picture below to show you what I mean.
