I'll start it off with just a few #1- No rubber seal at the rear of the hood ( Farmer ) #2- Trimmed rubber seal at the rear of the hood ( Farmer -- (didn't like that either )-- #3- 1/4 "spacer under front sway bar mounts ( Skip Asay )-- #4-- Alternator belt too loose after run ( DQ ) #5- Slicks were 7 1/4 " wide after run (DQ) #6- 1 degree too much overlap when measured with tape around balancer and a ruler ( Greg X (DQ)-- #7- 2 lbs. too much on the seat 86 instead of 84 lbs. ( Beadle ) (DQ)-- #8- Clutch fan instead of straight fan ( Greg X )
