NASA is about ~$270 here in Texas. DE's are as low as $220 and as high as $300. This is all for a 2-day event with varying amounts of track time.
It's really hard to tune on track... much easier with an eddy current dyno that can put a load on it like one from DynoDynamics. If you're in need of tuning I happen to know the guy that sells these things here in Texas, who also does tuning on the side.

Gotcha.
I've noticed different AFR on track... my guess is because you have a lot more air movement on track than on the dyno (but what the hell do I know, anyway).

ChrisTaylor, So in spec7 racing you run your stock fb? Did you remove int., rat's nest, modify your stock carb? What if any mods did you make because I love the FBs and I wanna do some competitive racing but nothing off the wall.
