yes we have run a bunch of ms units about 15 or so now that we have installed on just about everything, from a 1981 vw rabbit pick up truck that runs 11.75@117mph on a stock 2.0L block and an 8 valve head @19psi to a lexus 4.0L 32v v8 in my off road prerunner ford ranger. its the best bang for the buck in efi hands down.

I was wondering what you were doing about your interior wiring. Are you still going to use the factory ign switch? What about headlights and all that good stuff? You just going to have someone do you a whole new fuse box and wiring?
I'm just wondering bc I'm removing wires out of the stock harness. As I just want the basics to work so everything else will be coming out.
