Well I checked my valves and there are quite a few off, but fortunately it looks like I can make them all between .004 & .006 by swapping the around.  I don't have the valve tool, so I used a flat head screwdriver as I read it worked on another site.  Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult and I only got 2 moved.  I ordered the motionpro tool so ill continue when it get it.

I installed my F3 coils, incorrectly connected my wires the first time and got a horrible backfire and assumed I blew up something haha!  I then connected the wires correctly and it fired up really fast!

I checked the battery voltage and it was only around 13, not at 14.4 or whatever it should be.  So I assume my not revving above 5k are due to charging issues.  Ill have to look more into that this week, not looking forward to it haha.

Thanks for all the tips and offers to help so far.  More advice is always appreciated!
