You are far past the breakin period. I would not be worried about the breakin period anymore. It will probably get you about 5-6hp at the crank and maybe 1-2 at the wheels. I dont know why you would want a gas station to install it when you could do it yourself in 10mins tops. But gas station will prolly charge like $40. Since they will try to RIP you for the whole hour.

Do it yourself. It should come with a set of instructions. Just read it and follow it. And if you get stuck, that's what the Org is for. Ask questions.

"But I don't know how to do it." is the excuse some people always give. Or... "I don't have any tools."

Well ... go buy a set of tools, and put it in. Then, you'll realize how easy it was and never trust anyone else but you to put anything else into your car.

The JWT was the first mod I ever did to my car. Since then.... nobody has put in a mod for me. I did it all myself. Even did my own stereo install and changed the starter too.
