The day I got tuned for nitrous the dynojet was having issues. One being a broken tach pick up. I'm not one for dyno numbers. Its just a tuning tool anyways.

I have no idea. 2 of our tracks got closed down this year. Firebird and Speedworld. I went 12.65 @110 at Firebird when it was just bolt ons (364rwhp) back in 2009.
