To add to this, 804s were out of spec stock T2 injectors that Mopar packaged up and sold. So, if you buy 804's they may or may not be stock injectors. The only way to know for sure is to have the injectors flowed. Also, the Shelby Stage II computers were the only ones certified for street use

Bare aluminum does corrode, much like copper or steel the metal reacts with elements in the air (moisture, bacteria and other pollutants) so aluminum ends up with a fine white powdery covering. Using metal polish regularly will help eliminate or minimize this as would using clear coating,
