Very nice Beast. Good luck.

I am still waiting on my lifters to get back from isky and will be back up and running. I will pretty much have all new stuff in her this time so hopefully all my problems will be over.

Thanks guys. Finally got to race today. Sat under canopies all day yesterday and watched it rain.
Not a real good day racing though, found a bad coil wire and replaced it before first round but didn't fix my problem. :? These electrical gremlins are driving me nuts. :evil:

I have a freind that has a 7s ride, the car ran fine before he had it painted and ran into all kinds of elc problems. I geuss the paint job and over spray on some of the wires had something to do with it. He ended up rewiring the car and all his problems were gone. He dosent know way other than maybe static electricity. Sounds carzy but it worked.

Finally getting my stuff sorted out, took me a few weeks but its clicking now. Made my best run to date a few weeks ago. 598 APD BBC, and FTI Converter was a major help.

Re; Electrical Gremlins.
During the painting process, static electricity can build up. Solution is to ground the chassis during the actual paint application.
