Update:
After driving this combo all summer it has been flawless! I have to give thanks to Dave @ Brenspeed for all his help and I am very glad he has decided to go back to work there. After he and others left, the customer service started to suffer IMO and I was bummed that I might need to find another shop. Also this summer, I had over the top stripes painted by my custom painter. He did an awsome job and the stripes are under the clearcoat the way they should be done.
It is put away for winter now and the only mods planned are long tubes with x-pipe, delete plates and a set of 20in Alcoa Super Snake Wheels

I am finishing up the gauges today, autometer "cobalt" elec boost and fuel pressure gauges mounted in a speed of sound pillar pod. After looking at this SOS pillar it would be so easy and inexpensive to build your own if you could just buy the "bullets", all it is is a factory pillar with some holes drilled for the wires with the bullets rivetted in place. I could build that from my factory piece in 30 minutes LOL. Here ar some crapy shots!
Glad to hear the install went well, sorry you have to wait till spring to drive it. It takes us 14 hours to install a paxton and we do it all the time.

LOL,

Thanks Brian, I resurrected this thread from last Feburuary (Post #13) with an update after running it all summer.
I will be ordering some long tubes and delete plates for the set up from you guys in January!
