Currently in the process of tuning the MS. Thanks to Glen Hoag for a great kit. Made it so much easier to assemble. Using the relay board, and built a Stim too.

To test my new MS installation, what better adventure than a trip to Moab? Over 1000 miles of driving round trip, over 7500' mountain passes, and two full days of trail beating.
The MS never faltered and the performance was great. Having EFI on the angles helped immensely. Obstacles that would have stopped me last year with a carb were no problem.
Fuel mileage was good, at least considering a 360 V8 running at 3000 RPM for hours on end.
I may have created some converts....

One Year Report
The interior of the truck gets to well over 120 F in the summer, and there is high humidity during July and August. Not a problem yet. I am anxiously awaiting a MSII chip so I can run spark control too.
It always starts instantly and runs like a sewing machine. One of the best mods I could have done. Thanks B&G and the whole MS community for creating and supporting this great product.
