For those of you who have the Streetflight kit, who did the install and tuning? It would seem that going to Streetflight would not be an option for most.

it's not a reasonable option, but people do it because it's better than having a RETARD do it and worry about this issues, those issues. . . .
Once I get the time, I'm going to drive, drop it off, get it done, and drive back. . .it's 3000miles for me round trip, I'll have to make a vacation of it. . .at least there's awesome golfing in AZ. . .

I did my own install...It is a time consuming task, but the reward is well worth the time! If you can make a trip out to Street Flight then do it, as they must be pro's at installing this sucker..

I did mine myself, I also took the libety of beefing up the tranny with a Quaife, Zetec FD Fidanza Flywheel, CF DF Clutch, installed GC's onto my Konis and SS brake lines while I was at it. I had almost the whole car torn apart!

I had them do it because I don't have the patience to deal with exhaust systems, and the tuning.
So the install costs me a bit more with 5 days of hotel ($300-400 three on the way out, and two on the way back) a $300 R/T air fare, and 3100 miles worth of fuel (3100 miles at an average of 22MPG, fuel at $1.75, fuel cost $250)
But I was pretty much, stress free 
The upside is, I got to spend about 40 hours of quality time in my SVT driving there and back.

While I'd like to say I took full advantage of the turbo, for the most part, I was nervous through Eastern NM and the TX panhandle with crappy 90 octane fuel. So a good deal of the second day was at 70-75MPH for most of the day.
Sunday was just too damn much traffic on I44, once I got into MO with all the folks towing campers and boats in and out of the Ozark Hills (they really are not mountains.)
It just happened to be three nights out there, because I stayed in a hotel the night before I flew back home instead of rushing to catch a flight that evening.

I will be doing the same thing hopefully yet this year.
And Keyser say's he is a 10 handicap, myself being a 12.
Golf and fast cars, what more could one want?

WAS a 10. I'd say more of a 16-18 with all the time off I've taken.

Oh man, I really need to keep my cell phone with me more often. Friday the dyno was booked (the local shop only does it on fridays and saturdays), so it looks like this week friday hopefully. I have a golf outing Friday afternoon, so I was planning on taking the morning off, then I can hit the dyno early.
Being so busy with work/school sucks.
