Sorry Patrickt, I did a double post since the pictures did not take in the first one. There is another identical post to this one with pictures. Mea Culpa.

Make absolutely sure that the fuel injection on your engine is set up correctly. They've switched to a different controller after the problems with the Accel system, but you really need to take it to some high altitude place (like 10000' - go to southern Colorado over Wolf Creek Pass) to see if it will run. The problem is Roush is at 700' and they don't do very good high altitude testing or compensation.

Tinman, you will find your snake bites come from leaning over your motor while the pipes are hot, not from climbing in or out. Snake bites are usually on the front of your shin.
Ask me how I know 4 times.

Congrats Tin Man,
You will have a lot of fun. I am not sure if Sandy has found this to be the case in his 511 or not but although Roush and the dealers say these 511 can run on preium unleaded, they dont like to. Strictly seat of the pants numbers I figure I am giving up about 50-100 hp when only running preium and it hesitates and acts up when you put your foot into it. I never have the problem if I blend it a little 104 octane or even the 110 leaded octane. It gives it a big boost in the seat of the pants and not the hesitation problem I have otherwise. Also, never let it get below a half tank or you will have the same problem unless the fuel pickup is better in the SPF than the CSX (entirely possible)
Looking forward to seeing the car. I like the driving lights as well. One way to blind the bumper of the car in front of you in case they are going too slow!
Ron

I gotta run down to Erick's shop and take a look-see before it goes!
While Roush's FI 511's have given owners issues, you at least have one of the gurus set it up.
I can't wait to read your impressions when you get it.
