Its interesting that shops can "fail" at installing things. Seems like they need to fix your car now for free because they couldnt remove a screw without stripping it.
I thought about that but since they were not sure about the torch thing and all, I was thinking so do I really want them trying stuff they arent comfortable doing. I will probably try another shop and if they cant get it I will just not do the HFCs. Im hoping the Cobb will still net me some good gains without the HFC, and just my CBE and intake filters. Im hoping adjusting the timing and A/F will net me the most.
