Don't wait just do it!! The biggest issue is tuning.. Did you pick up the oil and water lines?

I'm no worried about tuning, my tuner tunes for multiple performance shops all over the US, if it has an engine, he can tune it lol. I'm mainly waiting for a couple reasons, 1st is money, it's gonna be a while until I do this because I'm putting money back to buy a house when I get out of the military, and 2nd is I'd like time to become more aware of all the weaknesses of the motor I'll need to address

Ok and just by eyeballing things it looks like the a/c hoses, oxygen sensor, dipstick, and the radiator fan are all in the way so any idea on that?

 

[christopher.s.terry]
