Quote: Jim, your running a standalone right ? you said you were never
able to tune, but now you have the ability to.... im assuming that
means you had a standlone put in? A standalone would let you tune to
run meth also, right ? No Jims Dad used to tune the car
via fuel

I plan on being at the track the next time Jim goes. For one I would

be footage of it. I'll see if Jim will allow getting pic's of the car
sitting and give a view of some
