if there is one near you....

Summit's phone service guys love this kind of question...call them and ask for their help...you'll get a boat load...hope your pockets are deep!!! I'll bet Jegs and some others/speed have on line and live telephone help if you'll ask them. Personally...I ask my local engine builder/machinest for his opinion and he gives me help.
