I often read where others will state ‘You might have to re-tune’ or ‘Worst case is that the engine will need re-tuning’…this, if you [sigh]…..let’s see: Run a med-warm plug with 22.5% nitro in sealed engine.Run a med-warm plug with 22.5% nitro in non-sealed engine with the half-tank lean. Run a warm-med plug with 22.5%ContinueContinue reading “The Dreaded ‘Re-Tune’”

And The Saga Continues
I hate to be negative but if these flatline bashers don’t start teaching me lessons and teaching some lessons soon, I’m get might get mad. To the point I might do something like—make fun of them You don’t want me…
Vented Bells PART 1: Are They Worth It?
They do look cool Per my latest video, let’s get in to detail as it pertains to vented bells.. I will begin this post by accepting I am a minority in two areas. The first being my opinion, and second being the number of clutch bells I have run. My best guess I’ve run 40+ContinueContinue reading “Vented Bells PART 1: Are They Worth It?”
Inside Shit
In my last post I noted how I had written down my prediction for Paulie’s little event last night. Below is what actually happened: Paulie lost.The ring announcer said it was “one of the biggest upsets in sports history”.

The Business
I dropped a video earlier that (kind of) explains my thinking on WHY one should consider a new clutch…i.e. under what circumstances.

So…what this means is, in my next video, that opens with a montageContinueContinue reading “The Business”

I have no problem telling you that I have straight jacked up engines instead of “maintaining”ContinueContinue reading “But Do You Know Why?”
This Place Will Bump…
….eventually. Ugh. Understand I am old skool AF (as in I can remember using MS Word before it even had a spell checker…I still rock notepad for any quick mark-up/transformative notation code I might need….and thus I often struggle with the new-fangled WYSIWYG tools. But…I will get there. For now, excuse ‘whackedness’ of this site.
As I was saying…
First, it’s been years since I used WordPress. It has changed quite a bit, so forgive my lack of ‘style’…but I will get there. Second, below is a video I created to serve as an overture for my video on selecting a clutch. I take you back showing examples of how I would get bannedContinueContinue reading “As I was saying…”
Perfecto!
This is how we do it. I believe found a sight to house my nitro engine tuning doc. In all candor, I had put so much work in to that document, I was trepid about simply handing it out to people. instead, I wanted to ensure that it got in to the hands of thoseContinueContinue reading “Perfecto!”
