    You may want to try a different Forum....like street/strip.

    Give more specific information, and ask specific questions.

    There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this site that are very willing to share their knowledge. But, most won't bother if they aren't sure what you have or what you want to know.

    Be very specific.

    Good Luck.:TU:
