I am mechanically inclined, I made a binder with all of the install instructions that I could check off as I did them and I only drank moderately lol. With that said, some issues with the SC and my fuel system had the car down for a grand total of a month, I believe. I would probably give it a 5 on the difficulty scale.

EDIT: I also installed the CJM S1-SE fuel return system, billet tophat, AEM? Fuel pump relay/upgraded wiring, and the AMS lightweight crank pulley.
Even though I didn't do my install I did monitor the progress daily. Wouldn't you say the fuel system was the most complex part?

Yes. Just because of the cutting required, making sure that gasket stays fuel-free and the wiring of the pump up to the new tophat.

I double-checked your build thread, and didn't find a detail on the fuel system and wiring install. Is this complicated enough that a step-by-step description would be helpful for others who are planning the upgrade...similar to what TBatt did for the tophat?

It's not complicated, just difficult to get the hoses routed through all the right places as far as the system installation goes. The fuel system mods took about half of my install time. The directions provided with the system are really good, so I didn't feel that my own walkthrough was necessary, it's just meticulous.

The only tips I would have only reinforce common sense like ensuring everything is tight and doesn't leak! When it comes to the wiring, the wires are somewhat easy to pinch and you have to ensure that they are secure in the connectors.
