Tdangle, how are you liking this after a few months? Any issue with the bluetooth connection? My son is having similar idle/transfer slot issues you had with the 454 we installed in his camaro. I was going to do the set screw thing to his HEI to limit his mechanical to about 10 but I like the idea of the kill switch and starting retard feature with your distributor. But I have always been hesitant to use things like ignition boxes because of adding one more possible electronic failure point. Everything is a tradeoff I guess.
