Intake and a header are easy to so install. I wouldn't bother with paying someone to do it.
no i mean to install a TB, IM is it has easy to install has a intake/header
or is a IM,TB hard to install and should i take it to a shop?

It is harder than a intake and header but I still would do it myself. Of course I refuse to pay anyone do something that I could just as well do myself. Seems like a waste of money. Factory Service Manuals are your friends.

thx and I dont have a Factory Service Manual
Well I would rather do it myself or have help doing it
but if I know I cant do something Ill pay for it to get done right,
Im still learning how to do stuff but it doesnt seem to hard.

also for the TB is 68mm to big? also will the cai still fit in it?

68mm is too big for your current setup. If your motor was more built like with cams and pistons, then it would be fine.

by just looking at it it seems like I just take off all the bolts, hoses cables and
fualrail, injectors etc.. and it should come off right?

then just place the skunk2 parts back on and put the bolts, hoses cables and
fualrail, injectors etc.. back on where I took them off right? also do I need to buy anything else
to finish this it?

I plan on doing cams,valve springs,retainers but not sure about pistons
now if i installed the 68 will it do more harm then good until i get the cams?

Fuel rail won't do shit, stock fuel rail flows fine, that's strictly cosmetic. 68mm TB is way to big, your not going to gain any power and you'll lose a ton of throttle response. Why don't you take the money you would spend on that intake, tb, and fuel rail that won't do shit and buy some cams and an exhaust.

I have a exhaust and well cams I want to but I have no clue how to install cams,valvesprings/retainers and it will cost 350 to install and 450 to tune where i figure the IM,TB will give me a little extra power until i do cams down the line
so instead of 410 itll be 1440 so.... I only have about 500 to play with

I would definatly have the cams profesionaly installed and tuned. What stage are you going? Stage 1 you should be fine with the stock valve springs/retainers. If you get cams, you need cam gears too. Skip the tb and im for now. Go with some crower stage 1's, cam gears, and pick up that aem pulley set.
