Didn't you do that fuel system a few years ago?
How about some new stuff!

HI Dave

I did the fuel line a couple of yrs ago, but wasn't happy where it went in the tunnel. So I did it again. Fits in there nice now.

Engine is Stage 1 Rich/Pob & has Richards Cam, stage 2 heads with comp at 10.6ish. We're running optimax fuel, hence the somewhat low comp.Comp is still higher than the previous incarnation however.

Have to go over my wiring to find an extra wire to use. The Auto electrician didn't wire up Pro control properly, hence why it never worked previously. Unit has returned from Rocket Industries after testing with the all clear.

Have ordered my new MSD leads and need to manufacture some brackets for the extra plugs.

I don't want to sound like a dead shit, but, what advantage do you have from running twin plugs on each cylinder?
What would the performance gains be?
