I installed on a 4-post lift. I do remeber it being really close on the drivers side. At first we thought we may have to jack up the car, but with a little more twisting and turning it went in. So i could see a potential problem on a narrower style lift.

Race Ramps makes the Portable Pits Stop Ramp which might provide more clearance in a situation like this?

Installed mine today along with forum member Grunz95, took 7 hours on jack stands one went in from the bottom and the passenger side from the top we did remove the engine mount and put it in threw the top. I would call it fairly easy but I would recomend having a friend help, one to hold things up and the other to bolt things in place, sounds very strong.. thanks for all the help and answer from Jon and Tim

7 hours... I would blame that on the heat in AZ! 
I dropped both of mine in from the Top, I don't remember if that's because Jon did his from the bottom or not! I know I was experimenting with doing it different ways...
Glad you got it all done!!!
Hasn't anyone gotten Dynoed Tuned with these yet????????????

Well its very hot here , but we took our time we had trouble on the passengers side with the A/C tube being in the way ,once you releasse the engine mounts it went in , we had to move the nitrous lines out of the way also. getting the car up and down on jack stands is time consuming.. It will be getting tuned in about 2 weeks

I put mine on the dyno last week for a baseline pull. I'll post the before and after results when finished in a few weeks. My free time to do the install is limited so the results will take a few weeks. As it sits now with a Haltech and Borla stingers it made 319 to the rear wheels. It's a '99 fixed roof coupe.

I got a dyno tune today at New Era Performance after having them install catted XS Power headers, plugs, wires and belts. My '97 made 335HP / 350TQ. Other mods include dual cone intake, LS6 intake manifold and Z06 Ti.
