Just ordered an additonal surge filter and air filter from Brute Speed. I like to have spares so there's no downtime when cleaning them. Tomorrow the blower oil gets changed and I get to take her for a nice drive.
My wife was complaining about the speedometer. Sure enough, the tune came with a stock gear setting. Just switched the tune to the 3.73's. :-) I didn't think of checking that in all the chaos last week.

Still doing some fine tuning on the installation today. I fixed the gear ratio setting and reloaded the tune, then I changed the oil in the blower motor. It was pretty easy to do. I could reach down underneath with a 5/8 socket and loosen the drain plug. ProCharger recommends changing the oil within the first 500 miles, then every 6,000 miles after that.
It's a very different car to drive now so I'm still getting used to what it wants. I may have to adjust the shift points on the tune as it doesn't always shift as expected. But the best way to drive it for now is manual shifting. Highway driving is pretty much the same as it was before the blower.
