I understand -- it's kind of like when you bring your first baby home from the hospital. It gets easier. On your fire extinguisher, I have a chrome Halotron unit mounted right behind the shifter. It makes a perfect elbow rest and it won't leave that nasty white powder residue. Do you have a solid lifter cam in your engine?
