Keep up the updates.

Thank Eric... A few things to tune up still, but the guys at Revolution Industries did an awesome job with the sites.

Few updates-

Received a set of 8 - 71lb/hour low impedance peak & hold fuel injectors from RC Engineering. Very nice parts and their tech support department is top notch.
