Yes you want the flat part of the piston on top, taper on the bottom.

With no other changes on the rear shocks, going from the A to the B hole on the rear arm will do what to the car?

Guys, I pulled my race motors with the WERKS Pro clutchs from my Hot Bodies before putting them up for sale and set one in the serpent and found that the gears where quite off (clutch bell was back). I tried the M2C mount I had as well and could get it forward more with the two hole option but almost too far forward. I havent tried a different style bell yet but was curious what anyone who is using this clutch is doing?
I have no problem with the stock clutch but would like to utilize the werks ones if I can. Thanks

I will have to aggree with you on the rear 4b setup chop. I find myself always ending up with the 3b in the front. I played around with the 10 and 12 degree caster blocks yesterday and the 12's were way more consistant with the #2 rack in the sweepers and from the apex out on corners. With the #2 rack the rear is a little loose for me on 180 corners. Are your guy's bringing your epa down a little or do I need to simply control it with the wheel. Seems like the steering is a little aggressive on the tight stuff or I am aggressive with the throttle a little early on exit!
