Matt did my install on my 13 GS 6 spd manual.
ECS 1500 kit, Pfadt headers with no cats, corsa cat back, and alky kit.
With the hot Fl Summer, I put down 617 hp. So you may or may not need that cam. Matt knows what you will need.
And when he says you can reach him anytime, he means it.

I am a junkie for the sound of that camshaft so I will have it installed as well. I can't wait till the supercharger kit from ECS gets delivered. Then I can contact Matt to schedule the work so the fun can begin.

The road to 700 RWHP has begun. I pulled off the OE exhaust manifolds and x pipe. The Kooks 1 7/8" headers and 3" High flow catted X pipes will be here Tuesday. The only hang up was with the removal of the drivers side rear OEM O2 Sensor. It was gaulded in the O2 bung and I couldnt get it out without damaging the threads. I will get a new one tomorrow for Tuesdays install.

The headers and X-Pipe were definitely the highest quality set that I have ever installed. They fit perfect and the install was very easy. I also installed the AFR gauge and wideband O2 sensor. The Koos X-pipe comes with a extra O2 port so their is no need for welding an extra bung. Monday the car is going to Matt at FSP in Bradenton, Fl. for the ECS Supercharger, Blower Cam, ATI Balancer, Methanol Injection install and tune.

Day#3 Rodney was doing the Blower Cam Valve Spring Install today when he found a broken stock valve spring. The car only has 6,500 miles on it. This could have potentially sunk a valve. A good thing for me that we decided to install the Blower Cam with my build. These guys are on their game.

He finished the Blower Cam Install and pinned the crank for the new ATI Balancer. Since the balancer has a key way in it FSP pinned the O.D. of the crank on center.
Tomorrow they will start the ECS supercharger install.

Nice. Clean engine for sure.. mine was a lot dirtier.
Did they replace front seal while it was apart?
I wish mine didn't have transmission cooler lines. It looks a lot more open on yours without those in the way. I thought about just cutting them and connecting the ends together at one point I was so pissed off at them being in the way.
