Sorry about the PITA, but mine was a "Breeze" to instal (no pun intended). Popped the connector off, pulled the sensor out, pushed the new one in, put the connector back on, and tuned it up. Of course I dont have a radix like you, just a stock manifold.That part number is the one I used and had no problems. If you want or need any help setting it up, let me know, I have been tuning mine for a few months now.

Mine was easy too with the Radix...what are you having problems with? I think it took me about 10 minutes. There's an allen bolt you have to remove, then a small bracket, then the sensor pops out. Install new one, reinstall bracket, replace allen bolt, and calibrate the sensor with your tuning software.

Speaking of which...just how are you doing this? Do you plan to "pop" the 2bar in and drive to F-Body?

Its so damn hard to get to it and then to turn the allen wrench, and no I wanted to get it ready to do so when I go to F-body central I can switch it over real quick and install the new plugs which are fairly easy then we can Dyno it.

I don't remember it being that difficult. I think I moved some of the vacuum hoses out of the way and came at it from the driver's side...
