That kit doesn't appear to be very aerodynamic...

And I think a big hood scoop would make better use of it.

562 all said and done? Do you know how much your dealership is going to charge to put the tune in?

I think they chage a hour of labor...depends if you are buddy buddy with the tech's. A hour of labor is what $85-100? Ill install my own sensors, so I will just drop by a recommended dealer my friends got their SC stage 2 kit installed and have that guy do the flash.

You're supposed to open the box and pour it all into your fuel tank. That way all the parts get to the engine. Durrrr

Noobs... lol

Oh okay cool, I wasn't sure if the dealers were going to require themselves to install the sensors to keep warranty.
