Re: Thanks for the link, but that "classic look" I spoke of lacks a little with it painted (not original).....

When I had the hood & scoop painted, I also had the fenders blended to ensure a color match. And, as much as I had wanted to ditch the Magnum V8 badges on the fenders, I didn't want to go through the additional expense of having the guide-pin holes welded up, ground smooth, sanded, etc. So, they stay....for now.

After driving around for a little over a day, I can say that the PCM has definitely started to learn that its on there. The butt-dyno registers a definite increase in acceleration. So that makes me happy.

The worst things I can say about it for now are:

1.) The air box required a LOT of pampering & coaxing (and maybe a few non-PG-13 words) to get into place.
2.) The kit doesn't include the hardware needed to splice the new upper radiator hose in with the severed remains of the stock one.
3.) The kit doesn't contain a new hose for the crankcase breather, as the stocker won't reach the new fitting.
4.) I lost a lot of the V8, exhaust cackle that the Gibson cat-back provided on deceleration.
