6AL has a built-in rev limiter. I don't think you need to install any resistors on a MAF car, but I made the mistake of doing this on a Speed Density car and subsequently fried the ignition box. Call MSD to find out, or I'm sure someone on here knows whether or not your car needs them. As far as feedback goes, good call! For $45 an MSD CDS is a great buy.

call summit, they have a pig tail with all the connections made by MSD. It's like $20 bucks, worth the hassle of not dity.

I mounted mine on the underside of were the battery is located. It hides the bolt heads and the unit is dry and well ventilated.
