I purchased the same combo. Believe it or not, it took about the same amount of time to get to me. Not sure it was USPS fault. I run the 93 race and cannot go back to the 89 tunes after using it.

Glad to hear everyone likes the race tune, i cant feel it untill i tried it myself.
Unfortunately my package was hold in US customs. I ordered my C&L a week after this and got it a week earlier by USPS. I live in Canada and sometimes customs really slow down the process. It got me to the point that i PMed some members to try and buy the SCT tuner again, but luckily i got it

Ok i just installed everything today however i got to one issue.
About the intake and 91 race tune, the car sound awesome and drives so much healthier. I love it, i can easily break the tire loose with just stepping on it. Its so much responsive, cant be more happier.
About the issue, i was using the stock MAF sensor screws on my C&L and it seemed the screws are large and dont fit well but i was an idiot and turned it hard and broke the screw, now its stuck in the hole and i cant take it out, i taped the maf and for now it holds up with no leak but how can i take the broken screw out and what kind do i need to fit???

I've never been in this kind of situation, but I would recommend you take it to a professional. I've had some bad experiences with my own MAF (turned out just to be dirty), but if the tape doesn't hold, and your MAF gets damaged- those things are pretty expensive to replace. I'm surprised you haven't received any check engine lights. I would get this fixed ASAP if I were you. I am glad that everything else worked out, its nice to hear that you've made your V6 more powerful.

Thanks for the reply, I just got everything fixed. I went to a shop and he drilled the broken screw somehow and made some space for another screw, i went to Rona and bought a small screw to fit the broken one and another one that fitted perfectly to the other one (I've should of bought the screws earlier). My stupidity kicked in again and i over tight the new small screw again and i broke again Luckily it held the MAF tight in place broken and for support i tight it with a black wire and squeeze the wire to the side so it doesnt look like crap. Now after couple of days of running hard, the MAF is in very tight and no check engine as well + the intake looks awesome and you cant the see the wire i tight the MAF with. I'll take picture to clarify my post. I love the tune and intake, so much stronger

if it broke off sticking out, get a hold of it with a quality pair of vice grips and try to back it out. its probably not in very far. if your comfortable with heat, you can heat around it, to expand the surrounding metal, might help. if its broke off flush, get a good center punch, tap a spot in the center, drill a hole in it and try a small easyout. worst case, you can drill allmost to the threads in the hole, then use a pick to remove any metal left in the threads.you could run the proper size tap in the hole to clean it up or... if you mess that up, just drill and re-tap to the next size bolt.( hope this gives you some ideas)
