So they turn them back when running everyone else.

May be the difference of running the nitrous or not

Do you need a different tune for each?

Typically yes, a nitrous tune should have less timing in it. How much less depends on how big a shot is being sprayed. You could run a nitrous tune without the nitrous, just not the other way around.

I’m great! I’m back to near full time tuning and wrenching on the car, in the middle of swapping out for fresh diff and axles. I recently completed swapping my supercharger for a 3.0L Whipple and most importantly, I’m back out racing!

Looking forward to making the trip to MSHS Michigan next month.

Glad to hear that. You had a tough road there for a while.

I'm out for the year. Wife had some medical issues and I stayed around taking care of her. Only made orlando.
I'll be back at it next year if everything goes smoothly for us.

My car was pretty loaded just going to our track. Another reason why I change wheels at the house and drive to the track. I don't have a trailer or a tow vehicle. I also don't mind going to a race and watching. Jon would be towing his car and I could put my stuff in the trailer.

Nothing is put in stone right now so I don't want to say I'm racing and then I don't

Well if the tires were balanced really smooth 😂 I hit I think 168 in the last car and it felt really smooth. Remeber dodge advertised these cars as like 199 or 200mph cars.
