I stuck with the npi heads so I could keep the compression down. What else needs to be fabricated? I figured I would have to since the kit is actually designed for the 99-04. Im hope anything I have to do is worth it in the long run though.

Yeah I have read some pretty nasty stories about the KB chip tune. I have sniper SF and a LC1 wideband. I am going to try to tune it myself being very careful to watch for lean conditions. If I cant figure it out to where I feel comfortable with it, I will send it off the modular depot.

Then main problem with the tuners around here are that they do not know how to use SF, and I do not think they care for it. I hate the fact I can not tune the car myself with the SCT which is what all of the tuners around here use.
