I need some quick help as I have completely redone my 4 link settings. The bottom diagnal bar are the brackets where the heims go in supposed to be able to rotate or are they supposed to be completely tight?

ive got mine where they do rotate but you have to use a fair amount of force by hand.

It's on the ground. Shocks at 4/4, IC 43 out 6 up. Rearend is up 1.5" from before, nose is down 1/22" from before - now sits with a 1" rake. I like it.

Engine, with proper timing now, sounds very crisp. No leaks and plenty of oil pressure.

Ready to go for tomorrow.

...like I said sounds like a good baseline to start at...of course you'll need about 15-20 passes to dial it in from there....but wait...you only got what "maybe" 6-10 before the March Meet?...LOL....BTW...guess what Im gonna run out of the box?....maybe 10.77?

6-10 - I doubt it - probably closer to 3-4, we'll see what happens tomorrow. But, it is supposed to start raining Sunday and not stop until after next weekend which means this is my only shot. Launch, all out, run the number in that order. I get 2 qualifying shots in Bakersfield and I'm probably going to need them, whereas last year I nailed it on the first one and was able to experiment on the second run.

If I see 10.77 on your window again, I swear I'm gonna run up just before the burnout and change it with my shoe polish. That's just not right only running a car once a year and it repeats the number. Sheesh.
