Saw this on bangshift earlier, thought it was worth cross posting
Rule # 1: Nothing is bolt on. Absolutely freakin’ nothing. I don’t care if you are replacing one part with another part from the same company. I don’t care how much it costs. Or how shiny it is. Count on having to modify something.
Rule #2: Replacing one part will absolutely require you modify or buy at least two more parts in order for it work. Count on it. Plan for it. And, budget for it.
Rule # 3: If you can’t handle rules 1 and 2, keep your car stock. Or, better yet. Hire a professional to build your car. You are the lawn sitting, billet polishing, car duster wiping hot rodder. Spend your time memorizing the specs of the parts someone else installed for you because you are not up to the task of what our hot rodding fore fathers did without call centers, internet forums, and tech advisors there to help them. They bucked up, put on their big boy pants, and figured this shit out on their own without crying about it.
