Peer pressure sucks huh??

The intake tubing you can just run in the stock configuration and get a good filter to stick on the end of it...

Replace the filter with a K&N type setup.

I mounted my probe in my exhaust pipe, about 3" past where it connects to the manifold.

It doesn't matter which side, most people just put them in the driver side since it's closer to where the guage is being mounted. There are usually more options for passing the probe through the firewall as well.

put it in the drivers manifold near the rear. drilling and tapping the manifold isnt hard. then when you get the money, get another and put it on the other side. that way you can tell if one side is runnin cold or hotter
