Well if I wasn't interested enough in this thread before, I'll definitely be paying attention now. My car previously had a fire under the hood, so the abs module and all of the connections are melted into a solid ball (somehow still working, lol) It's the biggest eye sore ever in the engine bay. If this works well for you, I think I'll be considering it.

I will definitely let you know how braking is. Since it comes with a proportioning valve it should be fairly easy to fine tune.

***EDIT***: Just ordered MSD 8.5mm wires, NGK TR6 plugs, and an msd coil.

Man went decades without ABS...I'm sure you can handle it. Just keep the power brakes or your foot will get tired.

Did you order an over the valve cover set? They're really nice on a car with headers.

I'm actually thinking about ordering canton valve covers if I do h/c/i. So no I didn't order them.
