I am sure that with all our kidding aside, 99% of us are hoping the car starts and runs great.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a clean and smooth startup. I'm sure on the PCM gets in, all will be fine!

Don't forget to make sure you have the battery disconnected before you install it this time though! And put your wrenches back in the tool box!

damn!!......I'm taking my battery out of the car right now.....I Don't need these headaches! Dude I hope the PCM is the only problem....I want to know when it turns over. i get excited everytime I get on CSS.net and hope that it fired over! My head will come out this weekend so I'll be able to see the extent of the damage.

Not really related to this thread, but I do hope you get runnin and able to dyno your car by the 21st. I have a quick question- What is in our trunk by the spare tire? It looks like a second battery to me.

Yeah, I hear you about people rocking stock Cobalt SS Superchargeds and Redlines and making a bad reputation for us that work so hard on our cars. My buddies thought the car was slow because there was this idiot running around Charleston that couldn't drive worth a damn and was getting smoked by easy kills. I got in my car and showed some people the car meant business and earned my street cred. Then the ones I lost to, I went back a rechallenged after I got my mods, and beat most of them earning more street cred. Since I do all my own work like you have, it feels a lot better too after all is said and done.
