I can deal with unlicensed guys -- hell, I do better work on my own over a couple master mechanics that I personally know -- and most of that is due to the fact that I can read (instructions) and they seemingly can't.
x2 on the DIY ... but to be clear - I had no mechanical work done at Steeda - I either did it myself or had my own mechanic do it.
The only thing I am not equipped to do, nor is my mechanic, is the tuning. And since I already have an Xcal2 I suppose I could buy SCT's software (for less than a dyno tune session) and tune it myself ... but I'm under the impression that tuning is not a simple thing - especially when you factor in the boost and the water-meth.
In our many conversations Pat has convinced me that he knows what he's doing in terms of tuning - even with s/c and water meth ( a popular combination with the Mustang boys BTW) ... so I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
