Cam timing and ignition timing are two different things

Oh man. I can't wait to get it dialed in. I'd love to lay down all the torque in 2nd gear. 7 mph instead of 4.

I kept breaking those little pee wee portals on humvees, so I went with Yale straight axle planetaries with closed knuckles.

Huge difference.

The best gain? It gave me the ability to run 24" rims!
