        So sick!!!

        Is that a bullet cartridge for your dipstick handle???

        Also, I have my IAT sensor mounted in the same spot. How are your hot restarts? I have a bad problem with heat soak in that location

        And you're not getting any megasquirt noise issues with the coil that close to wire loom?

            Yup. So much so that when I do the head gasket on my car I'm going to have a "just in case I turbo it" mindset when buying parts.

                yup, saw it at Honda day and I had a 50 cal shell so I jb welded it on

                it started and died after getting gas after a while of driving once, but otherwise no complaints

                Thats the plan, whodwho set it up so I can switch to wasted spark once I have some funds

                  So, I let off in third the other day and the car felt funny but still ran well. It sounded similar to when I had broken rockers in the past, but not nearly as severe. Maybe its just missing, gonna change the plugs (same ones it tuned on) and see if that helps.

                              Two questions for you:

                              What manifold did you use?

                              Also, what brand IC core is that? XS Power?
