I replaced mine about 3 weeks ago. Pretty simple. Only real thing i can think of is....When you relive the pressure on the fuel rail dont look into the relief valve.... I was told not to and I did any way. Nothing like 92 octane all over your face. While you have the upper and lower intakes off I would also consider finding a way to remove the bubble gum from the inside of them. Mine runs alot better since they've been cleand
