I love this system! I bought a used one on ebay and had to fight it a bit. The original owner must have had the voltage reversed for a while. I replaced the entire power supply section and it works great!

I do have a second MS I built for a backup. With the abuse I give this truck I want to carry a spare just in case a joint comes loose.

I have had such a tough time trying to get this engine to run good on an Edelbrock carb, not to mention at 60+ degrees angles. I usually break driveshafts just trying to keep the engine running at those angles. Should not have that problem anymore.

I am so happy with the way it just sits there and idles quietly. Much better!

I love it! No more dying engine for me!

It ran great! Amazing running at steep inclines just listening to that engine purr away! Best modification I have ever done to this truck!

I cannot believe I fought a carb for so long!
