Halltech Stinger Installed!! (pics)
Well, I actually did it. 
I am not usually too good doing stuff under the hood. It took me about 2 hours to complete. The install went fairly easy. It does rub the hoodliner and the way I positioned the clamps on the coupler put a hole in my hoodliner. 
I did not even notice it, my wife did. Tonite I will have to change the location so the screw on the clamp is lower.
I took her for a test drive last nite, and there is much improvement. The car just seems to runs smoother, with less effort, and shift smoother too. I did not do any WOT yet since I want to give the computer time to learn. But I did give it a little and I could notice a difference. The wife even noticed the difference. I did some other stuff this weekend, pics below.
The HallTech Stinger AirIntake
New Z06 Fuel Rail Covers
The Windows Tinted, finally....
Neoprene Seat Covers with embroidered logos
Red lettering for pass airbag
Steering Wheel Decal
That all for now. Trying to get her looking nice for the Ecklers Reunion this coming weekend.

Good job, it looks sweet under the hood. I've been slow on the mods myself due to my lovely wife. We just paid cash for a 2002 QS met vert 6 weeks ago. It took a long time to save. I got Borla Stinger Quads, and chrome plate to finish the rear. And she says "Great now were all done with your MODS no more money!!!" Little does she know were NEVER DONE! Now after seeing and hearing the intake/Z06 red fuel rail covers was'nt to hard to do I've got to get them. So thanks, I'll be in trouble later.

That setup is as "snug as a bug" - a perfect fit, so you shouldn't worry at all about its moving.
Congratulations for picking the best intake bang for the buck and welcome to the Stinger club!
