MSD replaced that box, FAST fixed both ECUs. Kinda pricey weekend.

I turned the master cut off switch off while Slate's ECU & my back up MSD box was in it. Have not had another race, but will do that from now on .
Scared of that charger now.

Ed,

I've popped the MSD high end chip a couple of times when charging with the main switch on. Only happened when the charger to the post connection was "sparked" by someone plugging in the charger first or accidentally knocking it off while charging.
