No sweat and good luck. I have an MSD 6AL, which I love, but I had to install it ion the drivers die fender well becuz things are so tight under my hood. That was a bit of a pain, but worked out.

6AL is a good box I got one . Do your self a favor get the Retard box and the 2 step module you will see better results than with just the 6AL alone

Anyone know the part number for the 2 step module? This is what I'm thinking right, where it kinda has 2 RPM cutoffs?

How hard is this to install?
