How do you think you got those tires Todd? LOL
LOL, He did get me a IC and the 6.0 trans cooler for $100 apiece! The biggest thing is the use of his 'warehouse' for lack of a better word. Its not a shop, its just storage for his parts he sells from insurance wreaks he buys.

Today I got the tracking number for my intake and Monday I'll get it 
. Today I put on the VC's and then had to take the passenger side back off to get the ac cover on. 
It was struggle to get it back on but well worth it because like I said earlier, I don't think the back spring and studs could have been done with it on. Even jacking the engine around. I'm sure somebody will say its not necessary but I don't see how.
Then I started it again and let it idle for 15 minutes or so. I looked all over for leaks and so far, so good.
Can't wait to take it for a ride. It might be my imagination but it seems to rev up really quick. The idle is smooth, maybe tomorrow I'll get it off jack stands and see if the vibration goes away, I hope. Its interesting to watch the scan gauge ICP pressures as I'm starting it. The first time it was something like 0, 4, 9, 20, 40, 90, 150, 300, then jump to 500 and start. Just idling its getting a little more air out because today it was like 20, 45, 90, 170, 330, 500 and start.

You don't want to do that with a DRW. They like to bounce when they spin and all it takes is one good bounce for it to breake a drive line
