It's just too cold. I get wheel spin at least in the first 3 gears once boost builds up and the back end starts to come out.

You'll have to take me for a ride in it!
It's given me back some of the "punch" my previous cars had.
Ride for sure.

Hmmmm! Other than having you take a look at pages 30-32 of the installation manual (not of the document):

What specifically do you want to know?

xviper, did you re-use the stock fuel filter or the big one that came with the Vortech kit?

The stock one was looking a bit "grungy" so I used the one that came with the new pump. I had to turn the pump a bit off to one side so that the fuel level float would not be affected by it. So far, the fuel gauge is working fine.

I think it's only fair that I comment on that little coolant leak I had. It turned out to be a hairline crack in the coolant holding tank. It was right where "Vortech" is stamped on the top of the tank just below the "OR" and followed the line that outlines the word. Rather than pull the tank and send it back, I simply sealed it with epoxy first and then when that cured, I put on a thick layer of black silicone seal. All is well now.
It was a small thing but there's nothing like a coolant leak, even a small one, to detract from the overall experience.
