I took a look on mine and I do have the same adjustable rod as they show in the pictures. However I have not had a chance to try out the mod.

Haent decided if im going to do it before or after i get back from Houston Raceway Park the 1/4 mile in Baytown Texas... Might just try it there if I can get to it easily enough and see if it makes a difference...
