  All right!!! Someone woke up the design department! ;-)
I'm sure none of you want to hear this, but this reminds me of something
which bugs me a lot; seeing only Ford and Chevy stuff in performance
catalogs... In the latest little catalog I got from Summit, they show a
picture of a Vortech blower that says quite clearly on it, "Dodge Magnum"
(or something like that) What applications are listed under the picture?
Only different versions for Ford Mustangs. ARRRRGH!!!! DIE, DIE! (Sorry)

  Bill,

   Did you have any problems regarding the length of the wire? (Too short
or too long?) What wires did you end up getting; the expensive ones or
the more expensive ones? (I forget the names, but both were made by MSD.)
