Think she'll notice the boxes when the converter, heads, new cam or LTs come in might as well just warn her its gonna happen with or without her approval!

I've had a couple ppl ask me why it runs like crap or sothing of that nature..

Being in the south I've had a lot more good comments than bad and a lot of ppl know why it sounds like it does.

My favorite I left my truck running while I went in the store and grabbed a drink when I walked back out this older fella that just got off his goldwing was standing there just staring with a smile on his face. He walked up to my window (windows down) and smiled and said I aint heard one like that since I was 19 man I miss it... I think it made his day.


Next person that ask me "that thing a 350 vortex" I'm gunna pull my glock from between the seats and shoot them in the face

my wife after I did a cam swap - "really . . . is all of this really necessary? Your truck is rocking, shaking, . . . and is it always that loud when you push that switch??? I mean seriously, people are staring!!"

Then I took my truck out for lunch one day with some work buddies and two clients. One of the guys asked, "dude, I thought that you were a mechanic and all . . . why is this POS rocking back and forth, is this your truck or another project, it sounds like you have a serious miss or a bad plug or something . . . you should really get that checked . . ."

I always get the, nice sounding big block in there man.. I just agree, say thanks.. Guy at emissions told me one time, that I had a very bad miss, might need a new rotor and cap, didn't understand how it passed, esp while our eyes were burning from exhaust Some people just do not know

I got the bad kind of attention yesterday, left it idling in the parking lot, ran in to the store. Come back out, there's a cop standing there. "Look kid, I know why this thing is idling like it is. We're gonna be watching you." ****.
