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%Continue 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+Continue 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". No one said to me after the fight "There is no way you predicted that."

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.

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 bannedContinue 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 thoseContinue reading "Perfecto!"
