The DynoJet is certainly the laymans tool to tune for racing. You simply cant go wrong in most caes, but the ruler is not a solution to measure intricate parts with either.
Go to a machine shop and ask for a square inch of steel to within a tolerance of 1/16th of an inch and it will be pretty inexpensive. Now change that tolerance to .0005 and check the price and tools needed. All of the sudden your trusty ruler wont cut it. Now you need a good micrometer, a machine that will hold that tolerance, a guy that can read the tool and run the machine to make that happen.
The faster trucks/cars, etc will not be using a ruler to gage their progress.
Larry= the old one.
He is about an hour away in traffic. Smart dude. Likes the ricer stuff. Probably the Yunick of the ricers. He is toying with superchargers now. Seems strange but so did the Yunick hot gas engine back then.
