So I'm happy to report after letting the car run for 30 mins and I assume the computer adjusting to the changes, the car is running much, much better. The fuel pressure while running is 32 psi and will jump up to 40 if I pull the vacuum line of the FRP and my vacuum gauge shows 19"HG so if I do have a vacuum leak, it's super small. I know a true tune will get it close to perfect but I'm going to run it a week or so to make sure all is well before the tune trip.
KB Install With Pics!

Sounds like you're on the home stretch! Glad you won't have to pull the intake or replace the FPR
Could be the way the throttle cable is mounted now. Did you use the bracket that came with the kit? I noticed a difference in my throttle being sensitive after the install too, but I got use to it.
Have you drove it yet?
I did use the bracket that came with the kit and it's been snowing here so I haven't been able to drive it. The cruise control cable is a pain to hook up. I've left it undone for now.
This is what i first thought too after my install! :beer:
Great work, i am in love with your car now. makes me wanna order a KB now lol
Glad to hear. Was your cruise a pain to hook up?
Thanks! It can be yours if the price is right!
I added a dual return spring on mine to increase pedal effort. This is an older picture, but it's the best shot of the return spring setup that I have on this computer at the moment.

Nice! From the pics, looks like you ran the stock spring thru the center of a bigger spring?
They were both springs I had here at the shop. You may be able to use the stock spring with another though.
Thanks for the info. I just took her down the road for the first time since the install and I must say, she is running good. I didn't get into boost at all. Still need my on site tune but it's running well.
Any updates? New pics?
As i remember it was, its so close to the hood its kind of bent, works fine but isn't pretty.
I do have some updates and pics but I've run into a snag. I had to pull blower back off because the IAT sensor broke of in the intake (long story) and I couldn't get it out unless I removed blower. Got it all back together and was running fine until my fuel pressure dropped to 10 pounds and I could smell heavy raw gas under the hood. Not sure if an injector has come loose or stuck open but I could see gas coming out around where the lower KB intake bolts to the IMRC delete plates. I'm ready to sell this damn car! Lol
You can check for a stuck open injector by checking the fuel pressure after you turn the key off. The pressure should hold for at least several minutes.
I meant to do an update. I didn't tighten back down the fuel rails once I reinstalled the blower and the first injector on the drive side rail popped out spraying gas everywhere. I got it all bolted down and running fine again. Got my tune appointment Friday.
Off to Fastlane Motor Sports in about an hour for my tune! Can't wait to open Mysty up on the ride home tomorrow.
That's great! I'm sure you're ready!
Well?
