I am planning to put ghetto and what needles TBS or truxton??? any suggestions??? Also I was about to sell my beauty because of unfortunate events, but I have to admit I am sticking with it, I can miss couple meals on week, and work some extra hours for little while and enjoy the ride.... Thank you guys.... and what is the best way to get DYNO done...what kind... Do you Know Him or do you Know about Him?

And I'm thinking Thruxton needles as well. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

I have the TBS needles which improve the mid range nicely, and am going to try the Thruxton needles just to see if they work better with my setup. Others on this board seem to think the Thruxton needles may be a little too rich though. Most people here have recommended the TBs needles, and I find that most of the time the advice received here is right on.

Still a little flat before mid though and plugs look lean. I'm trying a shim tomorrow to see what that'll do. Also found the screws needed to come out to 3 1/4 turns. Trouble is I've re set the screws and fitted the shim at the same time, so i won't know which one makes the difference... "... Slow down and turn that bl**dy indicator off..."
