    Injector electrical issues! HELP!

    OK, got a dilemma. Got the new motor in and reconnected everything. My ignition had a "slight" problem before where if you turn the key to CRANK, it wouldnt click the solenoid but everything else worked properly. So i wired it to a momentary switch and it ran fine. Well, that was last year...

    BADDD WHEEL HOP NEED HELP!!

    You dont need quadshocks.....I dont have them and wont ever use them. Sounds like pinion angle is off pretty good. they are adjustable and therefore, you need your pinion angle adjusted to correct specs. I suggest talking to a frame shop and see if they can do it for you. I know a local KY...

    What do you guys think I'll run with my set-up?

    12's easy, with driving of course. dont expect to run awesome first few passes. make those first few passes your "learning" runs...get a feel for the car, how it launches, what tire pressure it likes, etc....then after that, go balls out :D

    Yeah, you do it in thousanths...my bad. I heard shaving 30 thousandths raises the compression ratio by 1 or 1.5.....so if stock is say 9:3, then shaving 15 thousandths would put me at 10:1....thus giving me more HP because of raised CR. So, again, anyone know how much I sohuld shave? I have...

    Shaving heads?
