Default Just Purchased E-Force

So I went and pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered up the 50 state carb kit from Brenspeed since I live in CA. Hoping I get it this friday so can Install it over the weekend. Im in need for more power even more now since I had to return car to stock do to do smog. Cant wait!!!!! Just doing the normal checking tracking every couple of hours lol. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Congratulations! I have done the Roush TVS install, took around 12-15 hours. Be ready for lots of fiddly details, like pulling wires out of looms and moving plugs. examine the plugs before you try to get them apart, it will save you some time and aggravation.

I didn't find the install all that bad though, there are a few steps that are a little intimidating. Good luck and have fun.

This is my thread for the install. It is 17 pages long though:

That should be correct. Very little time spent under the car.

I was so close to ordering the Roush TVS but smog here is crazy in CA. So ended up either whipple or E-force. Finally picked E-force this past week. It was really tough to choose which kit due to smog.

One tool that I would have found handy. There are a lot of spring type hose clamps on the car that will need to be undone. They make a special pair of pliers that will hold those clamps. Will save you some aggravation.
