John,
Now that looks like a ton of fun, any way to make good reliable power is a win, good luck with your build.


All,
In other news I did some more wiring this weekend and only have 3 circuits left, main power to the controller, extend the drivers side knock sensor, and finish installing the O2 sensor. I installed the new bung this weekend and was called away before I could finish. I went through a ton of connectors and shrink tube, ruined the starter coil by trying to stack too many terminals on it so I ordered a power distribution block that should help out with that.
