The installation was easy, but I'm sure it took my wore out ass more than 2 minutes. I had opened the hood, climb up on top of my Venom bumper. TG for extended part on the bumper. Of course I bumped my head on the hood as I was climbing up, and climbing anything with a knee replacement is a BITCH! I have an air compressor mounted in front of the radiator so I had a place to put right foot. Now I'm in this odd position. My wore out knee is on the extended bumper while the right foot is right next to the air compressor. I’m all twisted up as I lean in to install the JLT catch can. The old line removed in seconds, but I have to admit it took me a minute just to find it. Finding anything wearing Progressive Lenses is a BITCH! I move the some lines around to install the JLT catch can & it went on reality easy. Now the hard part, getting my twisted ASS from out from under that hood. Yea, I busted my head on the hood again, and my knee was a sleep, my foot stuck under the air compressor; I about broke my neck getting off the bumper. From a scale 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest & 10 being hardest, I would give this a 4 for anybody over 40 yrs old, and 1 for anybody under 40 for this DIY job. In all it probably took me 10 minutes to do the install, but 2 day to recover from the aches & pains from doing it. Arrr!

Not sure why you would do this mod in your shape. You do realize that you are going to eventually kill yourself over time doing the same thing again when checking it.....

Believe me that's a bitch as well. I have done it twice, but I have mastered how to get up in the engine compartment so it's not that bad, but it does take a day to recover....

Okay, I received my Moroso unit from Chris at Freedom Motorsports late yesterday - too late to install it. So familiarized myself with the instructions and did the few assembly tasks last night. Installation was easy. Can't say it took only 2 minutes, though. More like 15. Didn't bump my head. Installation was greatly aided by adequate lighting, a step stool, and a leeeetle silicone grease in the hose ends to aid in forcing them onto the barbs on the unit and the Ford fittings. Going to put 26 ounces (1 oz per gallon) of Seafoam in the fuel tank and drive it like I own it. :)

How much did freedom motor sports charge?

I'll have to let you know. My original order was for a black one that was going to have to be drop shipped from his source, but I didn't want to wait for it and he shipped me an aluminum-colored unit that he had in his stock. There might well be a price difference, so I'll gladly answer your question as soon as I know myself.

After installation I note that I have a LOT more power, probably somewhere between 424 horses and 889.125 horses. Also my fuel economy has dramatically increased from about 14.5 mpg in town to about 67.825mpg.:ROFLJest:
