that's a good question, I didn't pay attention though. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. Of course that's just one aspect of the head work.

it's just difficult to reach some of the bolts for the bracket under the intake. Nothing hard or tricky if you've done an injector swap before, anyone can do it, it's just time consuming.

I started at 11am, took a 30 minute lunch and was completely finished at 7pm. I did stop and take pics as I went along too.

It was a long day but I took my time and learned alot about my car. I'm sure a competent mechanic could knock it out much faster and if you've ever had the intake off before you probably won't have about 30 bolts/brackets back in there.

Mellon, do you have DDL comparisons for this? I'm not sure what 2mph in the 1/4 mile converts to in WHP gains, but just wondering if you saw a consistent power gain across the powerband, just up top, less on bottom than on top, etc. Good review man!
