^I dropped mine off February 6th. But I also had some other things done such as adding some goodies to the OEM ECU, powdercoating and waiting for gaskets and other little knick knacks.

^It's always good to have a secondary vehicle when getting into anytype mods other than wheels. Bodykits can become costly to repair after a New England Winter. But not only that when super modding (as I call it) comes about it always pays to have a backup vehicle just for any emergnecy or downtime.

^Exactly. That and also sometimes you find other little things to add in or be done while the motor is out. I had a friend that opted to have some parts polished. Before he knew it what was supposed to take a week and a half turned out taking a month and a half.
