Let us know how it turns out. My advice would be to befriend whomever built the chassis andpick their brain as much as possible. Almost always a car builder is happy to get their new customer happy and running in the front.
What brand of chassis is it? You could also try to get some help from whomever sold you the car. Be warned though that sometimes the seller of the car might have the best intentions when it comes to advice, but in actuality they may know less than you. The same applies to the message boards. People might be trying their best to help, but not really have any quality advice.
Also, if your in southern Indiana, go talk to the guy who owns Foz chassis. Your gonna need parts sometime along the line, and they make good products. They'll also be more than happy to make sure that their customer is doing well.
Good luck. And lastly, running second without knowing a ton about how to set up a car is pretty increadable! You should be very proud!
