Re: Terrible first outing.
Jeff,
Seize the challenge one step at a time. The leaks are basic, find the baseline with jetting, timing and valve lash and work to refine, it will reward you. |

Re: Terrible first outing.
Keep after it. You may want to invest going to a dyno to get jeting and pesky leaks addressed. I think it's cheaper than trying to get it sorted out at the track. An oil leak on the dyno won't crash your car. Be careful dyno's are very addictive!

I know a guy that crashed his stocker first pass at Winters AND destroyed the Christmas Tree and all the related wiring!
