Yea good job with the headlights and BFI. Also a hint for anyone thats gonna do the BFI, Id recommend removing the airbox from the MAF, rather than the MAF from the intake tube. May be a LITTLE harder, but you dont want to mess up that MAF sensor...and its not that hard anyway

Calvin L-
so, how does she feel now?
i just came back from giving her another run right now on the freeway. It's bout 9:30 p.m. It seemed that there was more pull from the launch. Also my exhaust seemed to get louder( magnaflows ) as I was cruising on the freeway. I guess the larger air entering the intake is responsible for that. So it was definitely an increase in performance.
