She looks great

I can see that. I can see how 8 could be lean being farther away but 2 and 6 is odd. No way lash is to tight in those cylinders right like a valve staying open.

Difference between Cleveland and clever ?

Alright Mike like Rory said hey first time out. Was anyone with you to feel the tires after the burnout to see if they were sticky. Nine years is a long time but might still be good if indoors. As far as the misfire I would just go over the basics you know plug gaps and check porcelain for cracks ignition wires for proper crimps. I know we always try to do everything perfect but hey it’s hotrodding. It wouldn’t be any fun if everything went right.

So I guess either one of the inserts are good for 650 lb spring pressure.

I hope he brought a new pair of draws. My brother in law was in Lights of 6-9 and the times got lower and lower almost every round. If I remember correctly his fastest time was a 4.01 and that wasn’t competitive.

JMO but if it’s pulsating now you making it thinner is just a temporary band aid. The rotors are made with a hard material and the pads compressing them and the heat makes it almost impossible. Even with a band and a new bit at the perfect speed chatter is most likely going to happen. Are new rotors not obtainable any more or are they ridiculously expensive? I’m only speaking for myself I don’t have a lot of money so when I get something which is normally more than I can spend I usually weight out all options. Most of the time doing it the right way the first time is the cheapest in the long run.

Sounds great can’t wait to see some track videos
