Yup, would you believe I have 6 sets of aluminum high port heads and matching intakes.
Gotta get all I can before those idiots start hoarding them! Seriously, I'm going to have
to sell a few pair off some day. I'm just to busy at the moment (working lots of overtime)
to fool with it.

Wake up neighbors!

Glad to hear it was so simple. Somewhere down the line I plan to do an independent runner
EFI system. At the moment I'm trying to decide between an aftermarket ECU or a hacked
GM or Ford unit. One very nice thing about the OEM stuff is the large amount of built-in-test.
The aftermarket BIT is very primitive by comparison. Having had to diagnose EFI problems
on early generation ECU's, I know the BIT can be a real time (and $) saver.
