yes, the throttle response was a tad quicker (e-throttlebody was fighting against it) but the rpms defiantly moved faster, nothing jaw dropping but it worked. it didnt help that i got done driving my buddy procharged 97 cobra to then get back in my car, felt like i was moving backwards

well i had the chance to practice on the same engine when i was in school, SUPER nervous @ 1st, got it on my first try :P. When i went to do it on mine i was still a little nervous but it all worked out. For me id say it was about a 5 for you maybe 7, the most frustrating part was getting the valve cover bolts off haha

i have big hands as well, when my oem halogen blew, instead of replacing them i ordered hids and took off the front bumper and headlight cluster :P. The headlight retaining spring is one of the most annoying, unessessary, idiotic thing i have even come across, wth was wrong with the "twist" in style
