Which gaskets does it come with ? Im thinking i might have a valve cover gasket leak, i changed plugs not too long ago, and there was oil around the plugs. If its not leaking at the valve cover, Im not sure where it could be coming from.

Stage 1 install is easy. Just switch pcms. If a 5 speed that's it. If automatic you have to do a series of runs for the tranny to learn the new shift points. Easy to do in an area that will allow you to do some sprints.
Inside the valve cover at the plug wells are rubber O ring gaskets for each plug well. If careful you should be able to reuse the intake manifold gasket. When reinstalling the valve cover gasket there are certain places you need to use RTV high temp sealer on the head. If you can turn a wrench you should be able to do this or get an experienced friend to help you. If you have a dealer do this they will rape you.
