These are a bit dated but the engine bay hasn't changed any.

Did you ever get it dialed in and tuned? If so how did it do? I watched most of the live feed when you were putting it together and was always wondering how this set up would do..

Haven't yet. Real life hit me the past year pretty much taking my time up.

I did get a pair of MSD 6A boxes installed a few days ago. Once I get the MAP sensor problem corrected (it's reading 5" of vacuum with engine off at nearly sea level altitude) then I'll hammer on it again.
