Have fun. I imagine people will try to get very close to you (or will do so w/o thinking). Just something to think about...

Three steps back! I committed the classic blunder of changing more than one thing at a time. I changed three things to be exact and managed to slow my car down 4 tenths!
Went from a 3.70 gear to a 3.89 and 60' slowed.
Went from no spacer to a 4 hole.
Went richer on jetting and I think that was the biggest mistake. I know, I know, I really need to get an air/fuel gauge. :mrgreen:
Brett and I still had a good time.

With a spacer I would take some jet out and see if it picks up. You may need to play with the timing too.

That's how experimentation works! We always go backwards sometimes (OK, often) when trying to find the right combo.
