    max rpm

    what you do is get a dyno graph, and see where your torque/hp curve ends, that's hwere you set it because anything after the curve is worthless, and you should already be in the next gear anyway!!!

    Detonation

    Latest thought - My car was running super lean due to the old spark plugs we took out, and due to the crazy lean smell when the car was running inside the garage, almost couldn't breath and got a little teary... Anyway, lean means the FP needs to be bumped up... correct? If this is the case...

    Need help painting engine bay please

    ask for a "detail gun" they hold enough paint to cover your engine bay twice, wet, you said gloss right? you don't wanna wet it on with a 2 inch fan, it will run and sag and grapevine almost definately - only do it once!! you shouldn't even need a full pint to paint that bay - i don't know...

    Detonation

    yea i guess we kinda timed it by ear, so it's not gonna hurt, just might not be getting all the performance out of it, or it could be off enough to cause the DET

    Need painting tech - Paul, I need you

    Yes first fit everything up, make your lines (usually have to move fenders around a little, may have to enlongate some holes, but most ppl don't bother w/ this step, cuz the hoods usually don't fit good) - Ok, once it's all fitted up, take it off, and what color is your car? - I could really use...

    Detonation

    My car is running really lean, found out when we changed the spark plugs yesterday - today, i kept the windows up n gunned it, and heard some "pinging" maybe detonation, can running too lean cause detonation? I would think so - but not sure, and how can i adjust the fuel pressure w/o a guage to...
