oh ok thanks, I did tighten them with a ratchet, just wasn't sure how critical they had to be. I used a ft pound torque wrench set on 5.5 ft lbs.

how bad is it to drive it without an optimized tune? I took it around the block so far, the low end is pretty sweet!

I would be very careful about running wide open at high rpm until you get the tune adjusted.

Oh ok cool, I'm more into the off the line power, probably not going to take it on the highway until I tune it,

Thinking about getting hp tuners soon

What year car do you have??????

You MUST rep;ace the OEM valley cover bolts and install the button head valley cover bolts!!!!!

If you have a 97-2000 you have to eliminate the steam tube crossover pipe and block off the rear steam vents.

I used Two 2001+ cross over pipes and retained the rear cross over pipe.

You have to use a harness converter to use the 90mm TB

You should tune the PCM to take advantage of the added air flow.
