Hey that sounds really good. Nice and smooth too. You should definitely bring it down to the car show at Coastal this year. Even if you don't win anything at least you get to show it off right? I have a strong feeling neither of my piles of metal will win but it's all in good fun.

I'm about tempted to lol I've become very fond of that muffler, when the guy suggested that muffler to me I thought I wouldn't have liked it too much, all I knew at the time was no drone and throaty sound lol.

Well, I filled the tank up for the second time, this time I got 10.5 city and a few highway miles, lots of hill climbing with heavy loads. Does ok I guess, it got better this time than last time though. Hopefully a new cam will help with the low end torque and improve my mileage a little bit.

I get passed up by slow drivers all the time lol.
Although after filling the tank today, I gave it 1/4 throttle because some idiot pulled right up to my bumper at a stop light. The front end of the truck lifted up and the truck just got up and went. That thing sure has a lot of power after a certain throttle position. It likes the gas.

Nice! Do you have a link to it? Sorry if you've posted it in the past. We got the same engine I believe.

After the glowing review of the carb I've ordered one up for myself. Still having issues with my 4180 on my 351HO,
The summit carb is on sale for $240 right now, you can't beat that with a stick.
