Thanks Mike, but I could have sworn this was already covered?? Not to mention, who cares what the estimates are?? Just wait a little while for a dyno plot out of a 6mt SCeg33. This way you can then use whatever #'s you want to make whatever crank power figre you think is right. To me, crank HP is nothing, its all what you have at the wheels that matters

to be completely honest, Mike's kit looks very streamline and pretty simple to install.

Only issue I have is, with the TB adaptor so far back, you need to remove the entire intake manifold to remove the snorkus... Not so much fun but def easier with the blower because there are no sensors underneath or fuel lines holding it up

This is true. But like you said. It's not that hard to remove the intake manifold anymore..just bolts, no maze of brittle lines and stuff holding it down. I wasn't willing to make the throttle body adaptor less deep because I wanted it to be very free flowing. I did not want any potential restriction on the inlet side. I'm sure you peered through it..see the nice big cross section of the airpath to the inlet on the blower ya baby, that's what i'm talkin bout

I have yet to take the TB off. I will remove it and replace the gasket though. Also OEM gaskets for the intake. This weekend should be fun and hopefully I will have the car ready for Mike to take the first test drive. I figured since it is his baby, he should drive it first. Troubleshoot any issues that may be present and have him on his merry way.

Hey Mike, and anyone else who is interest in this kit. A little plus I realized...

The under engine pan fits without touching the alternator

That's pretty sweet. He didn't have it on his car when he came down so I couldn't tell one way of the other.

Maybe anthony will be satisfied with that and not want to relocate his.

Yeah, I was concerned with ground clearance issues because Mike has lowering springs. So I took an extra pan I had and installed it
