Did you have to cut any coils off of your springs? If so how many?

That twin gemini plate by NX is suposed to be a pretty good plate. I have heard and seen of some great numbers being put down on those plates. Its not really your convential style cross bar plate. Its actually got two bars running on parallel side of the plate.

The directions say that I have to relocate and the leaf springs and notch the floor board to use these. Has anyone else ran into these problems? Does anyone have a pics with these installed or kno...

sc racing- I can see what you mean about changing the pinion angle. If it makes a dramatic change then I will just readjust with some 2 or 4 degree shims. Where can the drop blocks be found? Will I have to reuse my Jbolts with the drop blocks?

By using 1.5 inch lower block would thar give me more shock travel or less? Im am thinking more extension, because its effectively moving the rear end up more in the wheel well.

My liquid filled gauge falls about 2-3 psi after the engine heats up pretty good. But its just a little cheapo jegs gauge so I can get a good idea while setting the fuel pressure regualtor.

It sounds to me as though the distributor is a notch high. I would also double check the timing with #1 on TDC and make for sure the rotor is pointing dead on #1 terminal on the CAP!
