Just an fyi for anyone considering doing this, a single 150a breaker is enough. I've been running a single one in the last two 7's, no issues at all. Our starters do not take that much amperage.

First: Is that a sealed battery? I won't ask about hold downs because I assume that is included in the "more later" part.

Second: That's a nifty magic trick turning n/a irons into turbo ones, if you could show me how to do that it would be greatly appreciated.

you are correct. it is designed for rotaries but it does everything that the 1000 can do just with less outputs and i believe you cant hook the racepack dash to it...i think thats about it but it has all the safety features that the 1000 has...i have a few friends that run it and for the price its great
