Default How Hot is Hot?

Just wanted to know if anybody knows how warm, or hot heir MSD AL6 gets? I recently did a battery relocate and also relocated the MSD to were the battery was located. PS...The wires have been cleaned up! Also, if you notice the big black ground wire is running in front of the box...I mounted it to the frame. Is that correct?

It gets HOT as HELL.....I called MSD about a month ago and they said as long as it is not next to the Header it will be fine...some applications mount the box right on the intake...talk about HOT


Look where mine is:

It is mounted to the battery box...not the battery....I dont like relocating the battery to the trunk...always had problems when that was done...plus who else has a set up like me...it is different...and different is GOOD

In order to install the system, what exactly did you have to change? I think I am pretty set up already?
