Quick first wash and a quick coat of Meguiars Ceramic Hybrid wax. It's damn near dark when I get home and I haven't had time to do anything lately so I'll take what I can get for now........

Yes but to be honest I think I have the nuts a little tight and it's actually pulling up on the front of spoiler. It's stuck good now so I'm just going to loosen the nuts a little and give it a shot
I installed the same spoiler and added more 3M tape to the whole outer edge. I also added some over the unused holes in the trunk beneath the spoiler, really just for piece of mind. The tape I used was the gray and not the black like Scott Drake used already. I bought some of the black and may go back and use that instead as you can barely see the gray from behind the car.

Had the Ported 18 mani since April and just ordered a tune from AED so I finally put it on and just spent the last couple hours doing so. I have no mechanic skills whatsoever but all those hours watching the same Youtube videos paid off. Happy i didn't pay a shop to do it.
I would give this install a 3 out of 5 wrenches lol. I haven't finished the evap connection because I want to saw off the mounting holes from the stock manifold and see if i can find a right angle hose for a cleaner look. Also not putting the intake back on yet because I am going to do the 170 Thermostat either tonight or tomorrow. I know its simple but Im trying to strategize how to deal with the coolant spilling everywhere(feel free to give me advice lol). Shaun sent me the tune already and the device comes in the mail tomorrow. This weekend shall be a good one.

Oh and I decided to empty the catch can:like:

Very nice.. I have a brand new 2018 manifold in the box, for my 2017PP, it has been in my closet for 6 months, the great debate of warranty loss, has keep it from being installed. I bought the damn ford extended warranty as well. Looking forward to hearing your results..

Has to fill up tonight, so I took her by the scales, too. Sadly, 93 octane doesn’t weigh 75# per gallon...

215# of me in the car and 1.7 gallons in the tank = 3,840#
3,940# with 15.5 gallons in the tank.

She’s not heavy, it’s me and the damn gas...

Did the GT350 mani last year with an AED FF tune. Was a full day project but also glad I did it myself. Would love to see your dyno results.
