I did give a report when I installed it.  Here is a snippet:

Uhhh, hello, what's that?  Feels like low-end torque.   Please move the bar
rpm numbers DOWN 1,000 rpm.  1.5 bar at 2,000 rpm and 1.8 bar at 2,500 rpm.
The car isn't more powerful, just moved the power band down lower.  Much
faster in 1st and 2nd gear.  3rd thru 5th gears didn't change much under
WOT, as the K26 is usually spooled by this time.  I think I may have chopped
off +1 sec. of 0-60 times(Seat Of The Pants estimating method).  The car is
also smoother, more like a 20vt, under WOT.  I remember Todd P. describing
Scott Mo's car at PIR.  Very smooth and fast.  I get the same feeling.

I have yet to drive the car with the 2-piece EM.  Linda is shipping the last
of the turbo/EM studs.  S/b running Saturday.  I will give a report.  Also,
usless tragedy befalls, expect single pass IC installation in a couple of
weeks.  Still sorting out the darn cross brace.

BTW, I will be at 2Bennett tomorrow to pick up an interior, at around 12 -
2pm.  If anybody is in the area, stop by.  No, I won't have the 88 5kcstq.
But it is always nice to put faces with names...
