:rockon: Finally fired up my new motor today! After breaking it in i took it for a little rip.....HOLY SH*T..... i just about pissd my pants!

Just wanna thank everyone for putting up with all my annoying posts asking a million different questions, Airspeed for the majority of the parts, James Buchan for the free parts or damn near free parts and sending out a few pm's to a certain someone, and especially Dan who put up with months of hassle. i.e tracking down the right parts, dumbing down EVERY explanation about everything so i would understand it...just to come back to say i forgot and have him repeat himself!

Thanks guys!

Should have everything dialed in for the sept.23 street legals :!:

you have chromo push-rods?
if so, you CAN set them at \"0\" but i like to set mine at .004 just to be safe
typical causes for running like shit are usually clogged jets, or fouled plugs
