You never know when it will happen and the last thing you want to do is pull the heads if you don't have to.

Amen to that! You're not using Autolite plugs, right?
What I might do is put in a cut-off switch so that the controller can cycle as normal, but I can cut power to the relay if the controller holds the plugs on for too long. I also want to put a cut-off switch in for the run solenoid on the injector pump and hide the switch, as an anti-theft measure...
RT, way cool
I haven't had the opportunity to play with a turbo'ed -71 series yet...even the 12V-71's on the boats where I used to work (a tug/launch company) were naturally aspirated (still had the blower, of course, but no turbo)...
