the 6 spacers are for your strut bar to accommodate the raised engine. that other bracket is not for your car, GTM likely put it in there on accident.

the same shop will set up the basic tune but no dyno there so they will take it to another shop for help with the tune

ok-we were thinking perhaps on the steering rack bottom plate(it is quite tight and does not sit properly on one side. the web on inside of plate touches steering rack.

thanks

the instructions are pretty clear, that plate is definitely not used on the steering rack. I got an extra bracket in my kit too but it was a different one, its like a surprise

just some advice as far as tuning goes, Sam's tune was pretty much spot on for my car and most others. AFR can be tweaked a bit but timing there likely won't be much to adjust if at all. if you get it dyno tuned make sure its by a competent tuner so you dont waste your time and money

i think the shop it is in now will do most of the tune and deal with sam
