There are sticky's (or useful threads) at the top of the first gen section. I would advise doing more than just the starwheel. Turn your fuel pin, adjust your full power screw, turn the smoke screw and you can also turn the star wheel. And just a word of advice, NEVER EVER ask for smoke. You will get raped on here. Welcome to the forum and best of luck to ya!

Gauges man, gauges. You will come to find out that those things (gauges) will be a life saver. You will need at minimum a pyrometer and boost. If you have an auto a transmiSsion tempature gauge will be good to have. After you get the gauges installed look in the sticky. And just like noted above, smoke=raping. Build for power. Smoke will come along.
