    Thicker Fox Shims to Increase Damping?

    2x 15's = 21. You can calculate the effective thickness of 2 or more same diameter shims in a stack by: Sqrt(shim1^2 + Shim2^2) so, sqrt(15^2 + 15^2) or sqrt(450) = 21

    Tires for rocky point

    Even without the beach or the hill, there is a lot of sand all around town. Would be fun to have some Padla Trax to get a little more bite. If you are not going to be driving a lot on pavement you'd have fun. I run 37" BFG KR3's at 10psi.... still gotta watch where I stop.

    Nitrogen in Shocks

    There is not a gasket IIRC. Its a seal on the thermostat itself. I think you have to buy a thermostat to get it

    Just did some trouble shouting with Holley and there is not enough RPM. It's a VW bellhousing with a hi-torq starter... not sure I can get any more RPM. Has anyone had this issue before?
