wow, i just spent 3/4 of my shift reading through this. There's so much good information in here, i love threads like this when all the vets are throwing their pieces of knowledge out for people to grow on.

darth- what made you decide to use pantera's coils versus the truck coils or other manufacturers like pertronix?

Thanks I really appreciate the kind words. The answer is the ability to run 8 ms dwell consistently and 4x the spark energy. Lance is usually far ahead of the curve on stuff.

Earlier posts you planned on going with itb's, i can't remember the brand but did you consider the speedmaster side draft manifold or a crossram intake?

I looked at the crossram. Not really sold on it. I know speedmasters has a ITB, but I think the throttles were smaller. I am going to work with Lance on the ITB, because he will also work with me on a custom controller for the engine. All in one vs trying to figure out a ton of crap

Employment update:

Lance was very kind in introducing me to the Tech Manager at Hyliion... but unfortunately Hyliion are not hiring for a couple of months.

So in the meantime, somehow I was able to get an interview at Karma Automotive here in So Cal, it went very well, they offered me a job, which I accepted

Thanks you guys for all the support and things I've learnt over the years.
