Good luck with your install. I did mine this last summer, then had to redo the heads just in early Dec. PITA, but worth doing yourself. What's your setup gonna be?

Should be a fast, fun, beastie. You'll love the lack of traction.

I did mine last winter, heads and FAST 90 Intake. I did the cam the winter before. Took it in to get dyno tuned and my stock clutch couldn't hold it past the torque peak @ 4800rpm. Installed a new SPEC Stage 3+. You'll love the new found power. Better shop for some sticky tires if you don't have them
