We used Moroso Ultra 40s but the coils are getting moved again. This time we're going to use Crane Firewire.

I can't wait to hear how that thing does for you down the track.
Looks like a work of art under that hood

I remember when I could about sit on the fender well and work on my engine

Those days are over, but the technology is insane.
Been following your posts for a while now, thanks for the cool pics/updates.
