well said COOKIE, i agree with you on the steady pressure and all the arcing, which brings me back to sticking the shunts under the spring tabs, i would hope the springs are applying constant pressure otherwise the motor wouldnt spin, agreed, think so, but just for kicks and giggles, i removed my shunts all together and used the best dyno i could find, the track, guess what, no difference in lap times, in fact one lap was my personal best!!
