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.

Better hurry up before the world runs out of fossil fuels. 
BeetleJuice - May 22nd, 2011 at 05:34 PM
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.
BeetleJuice - June 5th, 2011 at 05:25 PM
Will have to make up the leads when they're in the car.
CSP linkage is on too. they are very nice!
Finally got to get the exhaust on too.
Back to hibernation!

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?
BeetleJuice - June 15th, 2011 at 07:31 AM
This has been discussed at length before. Heaps of info and discussion as per below.
