Hey Gary, when you were getting ready for that drama filled round at VMP, it sounded like a battery voltage issue, made me cringe to hear that noise. Getting rid of those red tops is smart. Double check your rotor phasing. I thought those big motors didn't need that much timing? but what do I know, I run a Pontiac motor......

Something else comes to mind, a buddy of mine mis read the instuctions for his 7al box and there is a wire that is supposed to be grounded to help when cranking, I think his was switched to the ignition instead and he was chewing up flexplates too, just something to look at.
