i choose to break in my motors by oil or water methods depending on the aggressiveness of the racing and gearing im running.
does a forward only speedo can give more boost, w/ 3 wire hookup? and what is a power capacitor cause that sounds interesting and where can i get one?
Man if guys are winning by 7 laps they definitely are doing something different or very odd! Is this a stock class you are running or some type of Open Class?
7 laps is pretty ridiculous unless they are suuuper good and the rest of the field is just mediocre or new.
