Thought about getting this as well but glad you mentioned your experience with it.
I've heard mainly positive reviews of MCB's but wanted to know more about this one in particular.
I guess I'll hold off on this kind of part for a while.
Seems like it's more of a piece to make the engine bay a little more prettier than functional wise.

That sucks mousse. Same thing happened to us on a long road trip 1000 miles from home, only the damage was much worse. Glad to see you have a plan.

This was last night.

Rewired flex fuel kit from rear 02 reference to evap reference using Openflash Performance's instructions (which are real cute BTW).

Installed Nameless "Ultra Quiet" track pipe. Surprisingly it is not that bad and is quieter then the 3" Perrin CB I had a while ago. Way too loud for DD driving but for the occasional weekend drive and track days it is okay.

Today is repacking my spare CV axles with Redline CV2 grease to go into the car this weekend.

Sorry to hear. Luckily it doesn't look too bad!

Just got the Berz back with the Edelbrock installed! I love it! I'm not used to fast cars, so I will need to adjust my driving for a bit. It's putting down 246WHP, which is perfect. This feels like the most power I will ever need for this platform and it feels conservative, as far as FI goes.

^ ^ ^ Looks like 6,000rpm will be a good shift point if you track it. Right in the meat without revving the shit out of it.

Brilliant - my thoughts also.
