    I probably got it mixed up with another thread.
    I literally haven't heard of the happy knob in years. That's a blast from the past. LOL
    They kinda died out once DHP brought out the tuner, and from what I remember they worked good for the time. Never messed with one personally, but I do remember seeing how they tended to skew the fuel trims once you started turning the 'temperature' down.

    As for your son, what was his time in that race? It was a little fuzzy and hard to see his time.
    Thank you. That was indeed a 14.89...mph? don't know...

    Just to update...our schedules never did line up so all I did was add 3 gallons of 107 octane to his car and he got a new best...

    14.55, but I'd have to check with him for the MPH. He was ok with that since only mod is a aluminum air tube with cone filter that ends up where stock airbox was.

    Here's an in-car video: (actually was right behind me)

    and here's an in-car of one of my runs, an 11.34@117, best for the day was an 11.31@117, 1.55 sixty foot:
