Thanks guys.

BTW, I've been advised by Jim Inglese that my cam will need to be changed out to go the direction I'm considering, so I will throw in my present cam (the one listed above) for this price as well.

[Ben Lambiotte]

And what might that direction be?

Moving from the IDF's to IDA's with the "bling" dialed back from 11 to something like 2.

[Scott Harrison]

Something like this....?

[FullChat289]

Indeed.  Pedigree and bling-age level affirmed.

Zimmy:

I see you have made it to Jimmy's "customer cars" page.    I recognize the picture.

I sure did. Spent the day with Jim in Conn. He did a great job tuning and he discovered just how different things are today with the new gas formulations. The final set up that he came up with was completely different than he said that he would have ever guessed. And he has a lot of experience. Well worth the trip. (Also one of the nicest guys you'll meet.)

These IDF's are now Sold.

Jim did a nice write up on setting up IDAs in latest issue of Kit Car Builder.
