Not yet, they're supposed to arrive today, but with the blizzard, most likely Wednesday. It would have been a quick and easy project in the garage while the city is shut down.

I haven't been able to drive it in almost 3 weeks due to the weather and temperatures. I'll probably start it up today and drive it around the garage lot for a little.

It would be great if it made more power, but from what I've been reading, the 3.6L is pretty tapped out from the factory. Some aftermarket companies claim 30hp from bolt on's, others dyno test 10-12hp from everything. My friend has his entirely done up (same year and engine) and he says he can't tell a difference in power.

Most likely, I'll just end up swapping on 19's and Michelin PSS's and hitting the track with what it's got. I don't see a huge need to fix anything, it's already sorted out right.
