I hurt... bad. Yesterday was by the far one of the busiest days in the shop - ever.
As a result, we didn't do squat on the project. But all hope is not lost. Two of my guys are going in on their day off to finish it up. Assuming they finish the mechanical, as per our bet, I'll come in on my day off and wire-up the AEM and tune that biatch.
The only things left to do are:
Finish the intercooler plumbing an reinstall the bumper
Trim the battery tray an install new battery
Wire up the AEM
Tune the sucka
So I see no reason why we won't meet our 72 hour goals. I have a ton of pics at work too... but I'm going back to bed

By the way Ryan, I have that STI ready to go - let me know when you want her.

And for the record, when we install these cams on a bpu evo (dp/cb/int/utec), we can gain an easy 30whp/30wtq with gains of up to 40whp/tq outside of the peak. We had some good comparos on our website, but they were lost in the redesign.
I hope to get the rest of that stuff up next week.

Yes, anyone who a good set of tools should be able to put this on a car in a day or weekend. Also we are making the kits much easier to install by pre-assembling these kits. When you get your kit now it comes all together and assembled. This means less guess work and saves the installation guy a couple hours trying to figure out how to put this thing together.
I can't wait to see the new pics and some numbers.

I made it to the shop just after the Colts blew it - I couldn't wait until the game ended.
Wiring went without a hitch. We had some very strange behavior from the 3.5bar AEM map sensor - it was reading 2.5psi atmospheric! Luckily we were able to recalibrate the scalling using the AEM software and a mighty-vac. High-school algebra saves the day!
After that, car fired up without a hitch and we did a solid road tune over the next 1.5 hours. I was able to slap the car on the dyno yesteday morning and do some power pulls.
Unfortunatley, the igntion system is releasing a great deal of rf interferance through the inductive pickup we use. This made it impossible to get a clean RPM signal and freaked the dyno software. As such, I cut the tuning short. I'll try to get a pickup off the cold side of the ignition system later today, hopefully that'll fix it all up.
We are installing a clutch later this week and then we'll get back to tuning for higher power on 91 octane and a 110 octane race map.
The car runs great as per usual. We're getting full boost on this GT35R by ~4600rpm... it's not bad to drive at all.
I'll post a ton of pics, dyno, and some datalogues as soon as I have a chance.
