It didn't damage anything. Valve cover gasket had a cut in it, dripped oil onto the exhaust manifold and caught fire. We noticed it smoking really bad from under the hood, so I stopped, opened the hood, and glanced over at a small fire on the exhaust manifold. By the time I grabbed something to put it out, it had already extinguished itself, not even leaving any evidence that it was even there.

Right now I have a picture of my daughters in there for the meantime, even backlit with the blue LEDs in the cluster. I'm going to install a PLX gauge in there later.

Still working out a minor bug. Once I get that cleared up, TYF will be the first to know by way of video:cheers:.
Got a lean condition on one bank that I'm working on still. Lean + Boost = no more motor, so I really need to figure this out before making any vids. But even out of boost with the slightest touch of the throttle, I can tell it's got some power. Damn, I'm itching to rip this shiat up!
