Dutchie, my car is '09 ZRE..so yeah, not just '08 ZREs!
What was weird today was, when I going back to Tom's house after the recon run, the 'check engine' light went off (700kms). Opened the hood, found out the line for the "excess fumes from the engine" to intake (according to Charlie) was out of its place..
Since I had to re-position my foglight wires (ballast & wires) and put on the hydroshield, decided to reinstalled it again. Fine so far.
In regards to MAF position, I think it's the right position. But to be sure, maybe someone with stock intake can please take a photo of theirs? :)
