The most difficult part was getting my big hands into tight places. These new vehicles must be assembled by women or Orientals or robots lol. Very frustrating. The allen cap screws under the throttle body and front and back of manifold and getting the front facia off to mount the tank and heat exchanger. I invented some new profanity. The instructions were good but not good enough so a lot of hours were wasted. There were ~ 120 or so steps and should have been 150. The kit is great though and the end result after 4 partial days including hunting specialty tools...freaking awesome! I have never regretted it. Its how GM should have built it and I have no idea why so many sheep still choose a 1900 over this lol. Thought about the 2300 but it wasn't a complete legal kit with tune. Thought it might be a little slow to light off but not so, its instant. Its a blast to own and drive and 100% reliable. Still in love with my stoplight surprise in 4wd

I watched a video series on YouTube with the tuning school and Brian Tooley was a guest. The series was specific to forced induction. Brian definatley is on another level when it comes to engines as a whole. That series has some amazing info in it. Definatley worth watching.
