Scott,

     I notice that you have one coil and one injector CB.  I have an almost 
identical set up, but am in the process of adding another CB so that I will 
have a separate power lead for each ignition module.  I will do the same for 
the injectors a bit later.  The reason is that with one CB for each of those 
critical systems if a short should happen, then it could take you down.  A 
while back I went out and tried to start my engine, it would not start and 
the reason was lack of spark.  The problem was eventually traced to a pin in 
a Molex connector that had apparently corroded(or been burn by arcing) to 
the point where it would no longer carry sufficient current to drive the 
ignition modules.  Needless to say had it occurred in the air, I would have 
been in for another glide.

That's about all I can spot that I would probably do different.

Ed
