yeah,,,, they certainly hit full boost wayyyy before 4k on the street. actually when the e. cutouts are closed it hits around there. i'd say that it hits max approx. 3200 rpm(best guess) actually ill check my data loggger on my 1/4 run last night.

easy!

the two rear plugs on both sides are a snap. the ones in front can be taken out from the top or the bottom. i was replacing the tranny in my car so x pipe was off and its easy to get to them from underneath w/x pipe off.

I actually found a new way that simplified it some more.

#1&3 can be reached using a long extension 3/8" drive, and a universal (I put electrical tape around it to stiffen it up) plug sockect. You can slide it in right over the top of the shock tower on the driver's side.
