I got a video on my phone but it didn't sound anywhere near as good as the car really sounds. I'll try to get a video on my camera tomorrow and see if its any better.

Very nice man! How tough was the install? I'm scared to break a valve or drop the valve into the cylinder

Thanks, the install wasn't that bad at all. I was scared of the same thing as you but as long as you keep an eye on the retainers when you are compressing the springs you'll be fine. I had the retainers try to pull apart twice so I just loosened the spring compressor and started over and it was fine. You have to watch the retainers though because sometimes they do try to pull apart.

What tune did you go with? Just got my updated one from Bama today and loaded into the SCT ready for install Wednesday.

How is the driveability?? no off-idle issues, etc?
