My typical non horsepower makin fatt junkin piece of trash worthless mopar just aint got it. First run a worhtless 9.teens. Of corse it dont make enough power to get ot of it own way.

In the staging lanes for 2nd run backfires catches on fire. Never has none this before. Try to restart hell it took out the MSD box!

Put in new box that one backfires. Blows the screws out of the top plate of the manifold an of course warps the plate.

Got a bunch of people tryin to help with this piece of duck, but it just dont matter. The more it changes the more it stays the same...WORTHLESS

A good friend of mine used to watch as another friend made changes weekly trying to pick up performance. Seldom were there any gains. This brings us to 2 theorys which are in my opinion are correct. #1 When you make a change that doesn't help, youve made a change in the wrong area. #2 If it were cheap and easy, everyone would be doing it. I feel your pain. My biggest fear with my new 572 is that it will be a turd. Although I see some that run pretty well. Your fighting a tough battle with car weight as well. Don't give up.

It would start then die. Changed crank triggers looked over all wiring. So just assumed i guess box took a dump?

Murphys law

It could be a number of things , I have a tester here that you put on my 7AL3 and it runs the car
(Not running) thru the shift points, etc
http://www.jegs.com/i/MSD/121/8998/10002/-1

I'm not sure if it will work with your set up, since I have a air shifter, etc

Or with your box, they show others so maybe you might need a different one

if it's starting then shutting off check and make sure you have constant power on the small red wire going to the MSD
