good luck spraying away, i guess you dont need any opinions then, you got it figured out....
hope you get it right....

i was shown how to pull the plugs and make sure everything was working correct...mainly i just dont want any pepper looking marks on the porcelin right? i have nothing figured out haha. thats the point of this thread

i just figure i can throw it on the wide band and be extra sure my goofy *** doesnt blow anything up.

nice rt's on the foot! shorter tires help the R/T correct? i staged pretty shallow like i always did for the sportsman tree...next time out im guna give it one more bump on the brakes after both staging lights hit.
