i for one understand your point BUT, sounds like this Kid is just learning, so timing it by ear is not
the best way for him. The Best of the Best can do it, becouse thier familular with how there engine sounds/reacts.
but they will still need to dial it in with a light, or take it down the 1/4 mile. But yah i agree,
this kid has ALOT of problems with the car and should NOT be driving it. until its all sorted out. either
that or go buy a NOVA
