That may change in the future but I'm not ready for that step yet.

Also, not to derail the thread but what specs are you guys using for your front end alignments? I had mine done and it isn't right but I made an appointment at the shop I usually use and didn't know if there is some guidance I can give them on it.
Mine is not static. I remember it was -.5 Camber, 6.9°/7.4° Caster. Not 100% sure on the Toe but I recall it was 1/16 in each side.
With a stock set-up, you'll want as much Caster as possible for them to dial in w/zero to .5 NEG Camber (stock is POS Camber). Toe is fine @ stock specs.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
