Default Lingenfelter 710hp kit has been ordered. Hard to install?

I just ordered the Lingenfelter 710hp kit along with the flash tuning for them to send me for the new ZR1.
Has anyone installed this kit at home? It doesn't look too challenging outside of maybe removing the pulley, but I have an impact wrench. Any challenges?

How about the flash tuning? I haven't even asked Lingenfelter how this works yet. I sent them my VIN #, tire/wheel size and they asked if there are any other mods and I guess they send me something. Any idea how this is done?

Thanks .

LOL!

You just got the car, right?
How does it feel?

Everything I've read about the 710 kit is that it is outstanding. Good purchase!

there is an article on vetteweb about installing the 710 kit. Downloading there tune with the programmer should be a piece of cake. They should provide instructions.

interested to see how the installation turns out, I feel somewhat confident with a wrench (installed AR 1 7/8 headers on my old C5) but going to let a shop work on the ZR1..

that 710 kit and the flash seem pretty straight forward though..

This will make the job easier, you won't have to lower the engine.

I've found the kit $100 cheaper than LPE has it on their website at one place, does anyone have suggestions on where to buy it?

I purchased it directly from Lingenfelter from there EBAY ad.
(Seller information ling_perf (3050))
They offer Free shipping and no tax when I purchased via EBay. Total saving ~$200.00 ($53 for shipping and $144 taxes). Not much, but $$$ is money.

$2,399.95 total.

Install was pretty basic.
See this thread below for info

Instructions from Lingenfelters site.

Pretty simple and very easy to do. They send you a EFI live handheld auto tuner. It will copy your stock ECM tune/store it and upload the new calibration. It also works as a data logger and display so you can read PIDs, reset trouble codes, and view your IAT1 and IAT2 temps while driving around.

Yea I am pretty sure you have to have a pulley puller? And a press to get the new pulley on? Also a tune on a dyno usually get's it dialed in better than a "canned tune". Just an FYI.
