Thanks for the kind comments Not sure on HP, I'm guessing around 1,800 - 2,000hp I had the opposite with the alternator, my Power master lasted 2-3 months on the blown motor, I switched to the MSD and no issues, that being said, I haven't tried it on the new combo.

I love that type of overhead switch panel, but there is a problem. If the throttle hangs wide open (like happened to me last year, and a girl at the track with an Avenger) you have to be able to kill the ignition in the blick of a eye without looking. Things are going to be happening very fast at that point. You need a toggle switch. Something you can bat at and never miss. Maybe you could use a Lokar in car cut-off. (You would like one anyway.) I was lucky, no damage. The girl totaled the Avenger and spent 6 months having operations to put her back together. Her husband bought her another Avenger and she will be racing soon.

Gradually working through the extensive list of jobs Made up new front n rear polycarbonate screens, not screwed in, as it makes access easier at the moment. Plumbed 80% of Intercooler to Ice box, progress halted due to waiting for fittings, but these arrived this week, so thats the job for tomorrow or tonight if I get off the PC. My excuse is that I am letting my dinner go down Dropped of trans to Frosty last week. As good as old box was, it wasn't up to handling more hp on a regular basis. Basically upgraded shafts n gears, along with changing Convertor stator n bits & pieces . . . When I dropped the box off to Frosty. Andy was also kind enough to donate a Tial BOV which he was no longer using :tup: Finished off coil mounting brackets today, a lot of work for something that doesn't really do anything New fuel pump belt arrived, so now fitted, along with completing the Oil pump to filter oil pipe. Finally got round to removing exhaust/headers, added another bung (Thanks for welding Paul), as I intend to run Lambda's & dropped off exhaust for coating on Friday. Should be done in 2 weeks. Still waiting on a few fuel fittings, but shipment delayed, as waiting for rear wheels to be despatched. Not holding up me up, as there always seems to be plenty to do

Mark, got the message. You will love our coil packs. Those are the same we are petitioning NHRA to allow for Fuel cars. Already allowed in Sportsman and ProMod. We'll get there. Just makes more sense. I'll turn you wires around almost immediately. I have the same heads and covers, but unfortunately up in Michigan. I believe we will need different tubes and hats, correct? Before you send them, can you trial-fit the assembly to try to see if they will even reach the spark plug? Here are my covers. Had some bling put on. Here are the specs on my heads. 2.25 /1.90 ss Manley valves severe duty, Manley 10 degree Titanium retainers,locks, teflon seals.K Motion valve springs( silicon)K1100 valve springs up to .680 lift,fully CNC milled, 170 cc chambers,flow was 454 @.700 lift intake and 322 for the exhaust at .700 lift. per Eric Hansen.
