With the bulk of my FI system! Ordered, last Thursday thru beefcake.

Procharger HO, P-1SC w/helical gear set - Received
DW 95lb injectors - Received
Nguage - Received
Lund Remote Tuning - Haven't received my base FI tune, but didn't order until yesterday morning.
BAP - Shipped yesterday, EDD 6/7.
NGK 6510's - Purchased locally.

Going to start the install, sometime this weekend. I've wrenched on all my cars for over 35 years so this install doesn't intimidate me at all and looks straight forward. The only PITA looks to be the front fascia, but even that shouldn't be too bad.

This will be my first experience with FI, I've run nothing but N2O cars up till now. Wish me luck!

Looks good man, keep us updated!

The front fascia really isn't that bad. There are only two bolts (one on each side) that are somewhat difficult to get to behind the fender well liners, but they're not that bad. The sound tube was the most difficult part during my install. I wish I had taken the advice of other members and just grabbed onto the thing and pulled.

Good luck! :cheers:

Nice! Keep us posted with your experience on the install!

Did mine two weeks ago...
Tips
1. get a ratcheting 7mm wrench for the two screws in corner of facia.
2. Yank that damn sound tube off.
3. outlet hose on blower...what a bitch...don't get frustrated...trim a little each time.

Who is tuning yours?

Bought the Lund Remote Tuning thru beefcake. From what I understand (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) it will be a series of data logs from me and then a series of tune updates from Lund, to dial it in.

There's just one tuner locally and he specialized in GM, and specifically known for some fast CTS's. Wanted someone that was Ford specialized, even if it's not in person.

That is about right. He will likely send you a base PC tune. From there you will data log send him the file, get the updated tune, install, data log, rinse and repeat until dialed in.

Hope you have a nice quite road in mind - as you will need to do multiple pulls to the top of 3rd.

Plenty of those available.

Awesome, can't wait to hear your impressions of it with the stick and 3.73s.

Am really curious how much more torque there is down low (2800+ rpm), as I know that really isn't the centri's specialty.

Same route I went...just finishing up with remote tuning. I will be curios to compare boost numbers and other thoughts on it.

Nice, let the fun begin!

The best way for those fender bolts. Take the fender liner out. Very easy access with a 1/4" ratchet.

GHOSTRACER · Jun 4, 2016

Install has started. Still have not received my initial FI tune from Lund, so I'm not going to be in any kind of rush.

Agreed, those two bolts are a real PITA and I did not see a real easy way to get to those without removing the tires and liner, so that's what I did.

Took about a hour to get the fascia off, but, like I said, just going to take my time.

Well, screwed off long enough, time to get back at it.
