First, I have to get a larger wrench out of the box because I started getting a Craftsman imprint on my palm. Ouch!!! I got it on and made sure the bar was neutral when tightened. I didn't want any problems.
My, My, MY!!!! This thing is great. I noticed the difference as soon as I drove off for my test run. The steering wheel felt funny at first but I quickly got used to it. I jumped onto 93 North because there are 4 lanes to play with and no stop lights. I took the Max to 75, damn, the steering wheel was lock. Everything felt on point. So I wanted to see how she felt at speed(as if I wasn't going fast enough), I took her to 100. All I have to say is my Max feels really good now. I have much more confidence at 100 than I did without it. Now I have to get my Matrix Pads and Stillen Cross-Drilled's installed.
I recommend that anyone that doesn't have one, get one. It is a worthy investment.

From your e-mail, it sounds like you didn't use a torque wrench to install it. If not, you must do this. The torque specification is 29-40 in/lbs...35 is fine.
Also, take it from somebody whose had his license suspended and knows people who died in accidents caused by excessive speed. SLOW DOWN (unless you're on a track). It's not worth it.
