Work is done. Extremely happy with the quality of the work, plus all the extras they did for us at no charge.
For those listing parts costs, you are forgetting secondary air equipment ($200+), hoses, plug wires (the good 8mm kind), plugs, thermostat, throttle body de-icer, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. I appreciate the vote of confidence that we could do this, and I would have done it if I'd had the time, but it worked out great anyway.
