    Arrived yesterday, I'm still giddy. I'm sure once I have to install it the giddyness will fade away. Gonna hook it up and take it to Bryant's shop and have him fix my mistakes then I'll be trying to fry my tranny. I still have the old 6 banger C4 so I'm sure the next track visit will be interesting.

    I read the manual a couple times so we'll see when I can get to it.

    Which kit did you end up with? Mine came from Amazon, as well. Sniper kit for 100-125-150 shot.

    If it ever warms up, I will start to install it.

    I was looking into the sniper kit and the reviews said the solenoids for the sniper kit are lower quality but from what I can tell on the website they are all the same . . . so I went and got the powershot which is 125hp . . . that's all I need anyway

    Man, I HOPE they aren't lower quality. Those solenoids are the most important part of the setup, and the quickest way to start a fire!!!

    the part number on my solenoids are 16907 and 16908. Are yours different?

    Interesting...I looked at photos of both, and the 125 Powershot DOES appear to have beefier solenoids, and yet the Sniper is more expensive (by about $4).:huh:

    Not to increase your anxiety, but...

    Keep in mind that my actual dyno numbers were about 100 less across the board (estimated at the flywheel, the desktop dyno numbers are flywheel numbers as well), and the torque curve was much flatter. (those torque peaks are an electrical issue, not real torque numbers, but you can follow the line and get an idea of what the torque was at the wheels).

    But look what the nitrous does to the lower end of the rpm range!!!:bananaman
