I finished up the install this afternoon.
I would like to thank Chuck@Evolution Performance for some advice he gave me. And my buddy Fred for coming by yesterday to help with the wiring.
I haven't been able to go WOT due to the tires being bacon in a hot frying pan. I'll have the race tires mounted some time this week.

Stock pulley. Will be going to a smaller one when I have time for the fuel system up grades.
What size pulley are you planning to use? I have the 79mm on now which makes 10 lbs. of boost with a VMP tune, and it is not maxing out the injectors even out to 7,300 RPM. Why not replace the stock pulley now and put on an 82 or 79? You can pick up an additional 2-2.5 lbs. of boost for very little cash (no other upgrades needed).

I have heard about the surging issue, but I am not experiencing it on mine. Does this only affect automatics (mine is manual)? Is this happening while in cruise control? While engine braking?

Drove it a few miles last night, no surge issue

I am ordering the 82mm today. :beer:
Where are you tapping into to pick up a boost source for the gauge?

I was thinking you have an auto car. The cruise is where it acts up the most. I highly suggest the 82mm pulley. Ours picked up 2 tenths,and 5mph, in the 1/8th with only a 90 to 82 pulley swap.

Congrats! :thumbsup:

I do have a auto. I'll keep an eye on it. I haven't used the cruise yet.
How much power does this set up produce?
I'll let you know after it hits the rollers.
There's a tap in the pass rear of the intake.
Thanks Bro. :beer:
I can't wait to install mine :) How long was your wait for the tune from VMP? No JLT big air intake?
about 4 weeks
Congrats! and welcome to the family:banana:
Thanks :pepper:
Congrats. Looks like factory installed.
Thanks :beer:
