    2" drop spindles vs traction.

    Ive always thought my car sat a little too high in the front, and sat about right in the rear. The car hooks good now wondering if dropping the front could hurt my traction or weight transfer. I'm thinking no. But not sure.

    4.10 gears 28" tire 1/4 mile rpm's?

    Anyone using 4.10 gears and a 28" tall tire? What RPM are you trapping at N/A 1/4 mile? I just switched from a 3.73 to 4.10's. 6200 rpm is about the limit on my hyd roller. May need to change tire to 29" or get a rev kit.

    Valve spring question.

    I'm considering swapping from a Hyd roller to a solid roller. I have AFR heads that came with roller springs. I couldn't find anything on the site about the springs. Will the same springs I have work with solid roller too? I sent AFR an e mail but just wondering what you guys think.

    Fuel cell vent tube question.

    My 1 gal fuel cell for my N20 system has 2 -6 vent ports on top. I'm guessing cap one of them and run a hard line from the other to under the car. I suppose the other is for a return line but I'm not using one. Is this correct? Also why is there foam in the cell?
