SRT Install Question!!!
When you guys tapped into the other wires, how did u guys do it? I bought a wire tapping kit from autozone, but not sure if this it the way to go. I know i have to solder one wire. I looked this up in the search also, but no one said how they tapped into the other wires. Not an electrician, so need a little help here. Thanks in advance

As Johnny said,
Use your crimpers to use the plastic covering from the wire, then wrap the SRT wire around the ECU wire and solder it together.
I personally don't like tap kits. Can't beat a good old soldering!

Just to further expand since I don't think your first soldering experience should be on your ECU, go get an old walkman, CD player, or even a pair of headphones, cut a wire and practice soldering it back together for experience. After you get comfortable with the gun, then hit your ECU.

I agree with practicing and experimenting with the solder. I just installed my SRT this past Saturday. I practiced for a couple of hours Friday stripping and soldering wire. I ran some searches here and found way more info than I needed on the whole installation. Regardless, let me know if you have any questions, I might be able to help.
