Default Big weekend... Supershaker SC install started! Updated

UPDATED: pics on page two, vid links on page 3

The SuperShaker home install begins tomorrow! Have to go dig through the snow to get the car out of winter storage, siphon most of the 87 fuel out, and get some 93 octane running through her before we tear into it. Need to drop off my SCT-X2 at Brenspeed to get the proper tunes, hopefully can pick up Monday, and hopefully will need it by Monday. Will see how it goes.....

Garage is swept out, workbench cleaned up, and will be heated up to spend some quality time in this weekend!

Will try to get lots of pics, and maybe throw a few up here as we go. My 18 year old son is my head mechanic, I am supervisor and assistant! Wish us luck. He has been studying the manual and online writeups all week, actually is the one who convinced me to install ourselves. The greedy side of me said I would rather keep the $850 install fee, and what a great project to do together.

progress is being made. Had a late start today, had to run a full tank of 87 out so when start with SC installed has 93 octane.

Front bumper off, shaker hood, CAI, working on taking off the UDP's now, oh and hood is off. Adding a new stronger than stock Steeda belt tensioner.

The kid isn't going out with friends tonight, so a quick pizza break and keep going.
