Anything I should know?

I am getting ready to install my AFPR and I was wondering if there is anything I should watch out for. I am also planning on porting my plenum while it is off. Basically I am going to take out the "walls" behind the throttle body. Thanks for any response.

Check fuel pressure before the swap. Then you can set the AFPR to match original setting and adjust from there.

Agreed on the fuel pressure gauge, you should also know your signature is inaccurate.
