The MSD 6010 I have was preset with a 5500 RPM limit and I had to hook up the laptop and change it to a higher number.

we told the owner he dont need 4500stall a 3500 is good enough for his cam but he refused and bought this 4500stall for cheap the car is too heavy in the start

btw Im not the owner im just the builder with the owner and couple of friends

i just got my carb setup running and i dont have any issues with it cutting out. i think i bounced it off the rev limiter today. i have it set at 6500. if you need the install instructions you can easuly find them on line but since i have the image scanned on my computer ill post it up.



i used pill #1 so far just to get it started and it works great. im running a MS3 cam, 750 mighty demon, and texas speed ported heads.
