After you have done it a few times and with the help of an addtional set of hands, its out in about 20 mins.

#1 Some guys are not comfortable pulling the intake.
#2 Once you have the access it's only a 10 min job to change the OPS.

I admit, pulling the intake does seem daunting to a novice mechanic like me but so have all the other projects I've done to the car, before I actually did them. After I did them, they didn't didn't seem that bad at all but I can understand another guys reservation. However, with the cost stealers charge and the fact that you can put that money toward a mod that you can appreciate, it just about forces you to do it yourself (I mean its not like you're pulling the transmission). After all, there are documented instructions on how to do this (and when I get done there will be some really detailed instructions) and if you can follow directions, you should be able to get this done correctly with no major issues.

So I'm thinking anyway...
