I've done alerts on GenII blocks failing because of changes in the design. A lot of racers and others that are running hot-laps are seeing failure that leave them no other choice than to switch to the GenI blocks. A number of vendors even have the kits available ONLY with the GenI blocks. So, do your homework, especially if you are expecting to run N2o.
