Mr Spool. Thanks for the advise. My problem is exactly that...guessing. I don't have a successful process that I know works...that's why I am asking for assistance from someone that has that experience. Your advise sounds solid and that lines up with what I already know from reading. Two problems; first-the speeds are a little excessive for the everyday public street/highway. And second, as I mentioned earlier, I just don't have the experience and because of that, I broke it once before and don't want to repeat that. I also want to make sure I indeed have a healthy running car to begin with and again, I don't have any experience in knowing what is a good healthy base to start with.
Turboelky. I will call him today...hopefully he isn't too grouchy

thanks,
