ex soccer gets it. Arm, you still need to catch up.
diameter= gearing
wheel size=side wall height

hey Ex, wheres that outstanding internet picture of the two rails leaving the line with showing sidewall/tire distortion a snap shot in real time, to illustrate what you got going on here?

17" wheels. I "get" it but I'm not willing to buy 15" rims and slicks for the handful of passes ill make this year. My racing of any type rarely happens from a dig outside of the strip.
I fully realize that I don't have a great drag setup, just want to do the best I can with what I've got.

Ok well ill have my rotating assembly back early next week for the 2.4 lsj.
Had a few issues with the parts i bought from eagle. They got it all straighten out. Need to hone the block then i can assemble the bottom end.
Need to finish porting the head and get the combustion chambers ceramic coated then powder coat it then get it decked.

actually those aren't lnf rockers they are lsj exhaust rockers there was a rocker change between 04 and 07 and only the exh side on the lsj got that rocker after the change



left rocker lsj exh right lsj int

lnf uses both on left

when going with heavier valve springs use the hd rocker(lsj exh/lnf)

Tjolley

I wonder if my 07 has these rockers cuz i dont remember seein any different ones wen I had the head apart. I might have the valve cover off this weekend ill definitely be checking that out.
