lol...its all good. me and chris (mightmaxgst) tried that firing order boostb4blondes (thanks buddy) gave me and it worked. the other problem i had was that i didn't have a good ground connected to the head. now, the new problem is, my idle shot up to 4000 rpm's when we got a good ground on it. the idle adjusting screw was all the way closed that the idle was set to the lowest setting on the vpc/gcc. chris was saying that since my battery was on the verge of being dead, it could be messing with the idle. what do you guys think?
