May have seen it, did look at a few a while back, tis pretty cool but no one else has been crazy enough to make one the size of mine!

Thanks, will see what I end up with, and the spark amplifier with either of them? Haven't heard of the amplifiers before.

Actually looked into it because I had no idea and there is a difference actually. 2 zinc ones, one gold, one shiny silver like you said, but there is also a new one out that is all aluminium and is apparently lighter, but have looked around and found conflicting reports on quality.

Links from Holley website to explain:
Gold coloured zinc
Silver coloured zinc
Aluminium

So not sure what to go with there.

Sorry I meant not planning to get a bigger one.
