Installed P & P LIM
My ported and polished LIM got installed today, along with the improved LIM gaskets. We also caught a vacuum leak around one of the fuel injectors. Altogether, car is running MUCH nicer. Pulling faster, but also much more smoothly. Hard to say how much is the LIM and how much is the vacuum leak, but together the difference is VERY noticeable!
Big thumbs up
I'll update in the coming days as to how things are progressing.

Glad to hear it fit alright. Make sure you go back in a week or two and re-torque those LIM and (especially) UIM bolts...just to be on the safe side

The next 100 should be fun!

No problems with cleanliness. I had the UIM done about 4 or 5 months ago, so it all looked pretty good.
My big problem now is gearing. As I have the 2.84 gears, it takes forever to get up into the power band. 3.06 is the answer!
