[Jim Vander Wal]

Simon,

I'm not sure where to go for the info but would guess that checking the Lakewood or McLeod sites will get the info. It's the same basic procedure for everyone. You check the runout of the big transmission locating hole to the crankshaft and adjust the position with offset dowels. That's the simplistic answer.

Now about power and rpms. I'm putting down 450hp/tqe to the wheels, run 11.8s, do track days and will see 7,000 rpm and drive at 6,000 for more than a peak. During the discussion with my engine builder the topic of scattershields came up. The builder didn't feel that it was necessary. Now I know that anything can happen and agree that an ounce of prevention is... but I'm still so pissed off at the POS shield that I bought that I'm not going the screw around with it.

For those that have managed to get a good shield or had the patience to tweak one into place, more power to ya.

Living on the edge,
