Maybe I should just step up and buy better part "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

He's also a racer, I'd go with him again.

Maybe I should just step up and buy better part Al, you probably know this but, if you're not using straight cut 1.74 planitaries, that's you problem. The 180's are weaker and not that much quicker.

I agree with Mike you shouldn�t need the 1.80 gear in a light car. The key to making a PG work with your engine/car combination is getting the right convertor.
