good luck spraying away, i guess you dont need any opinions then, you got it figured out....
hope you get it right....
i was shown how to pull the plugs and make sure everything was working correct...mainly i just dont want any pepper looking marks on the porcelin right? i have nothing figured out haha. thats the point of this threadi just figure i can throw it on the wide band and be extra sure my goofy *** doesnt blow anything up.

I was in the .030's in the elimination rounds. I had to stall it to 2600 rpms and grab a bit bulb with out going deep. I was on a 24" inch tall front skinny tire

nice rt's on the foot! shorter tires help the R/T correct? i staged pretty shallow like i always did for the sportsman tree...next time out im guna give it one more bump on the brakes after both staging lights hit.

Thanks! yeah going with a shorter tire gets you a better rt's but takes away a little et. Going a couple more bumps with the brakes will put you closer to a better rt too! Its hard to find that "sweet spot" lol
