He didn't change the timing chain so in turn didn't dial the cam in as you use the crank gear to dial it in... Just adds to me not trusting anyone to complete tasks for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually believe the rear brakes are holding it back quite abit, so a line locker kit will be next on the list =)Edit: he's feathering the throttle, and he dumped it in second Edited 14/11/14 12:34 AM by Peppy_t92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
