Ok DV, you asked for this.

Your right we have talked about this several times but I will be damned if I can figure out just what you guys are talking about. You know my car and engine. I think I am real close to finally getting the webers correctly jetted for the car. We had our annual Austin trip this past weekend and the car ran like a scalded ape. I got 102 MPH out of second gear and barked the tires in third. That's right, automatic and all. And no, the nitros was not lit.

I am just not able to put together what you guys keep saying is wrong. Hell call me stupid. But try me one more time.

I have the Classic Roadsters sidepipes on the car. They are nickel plated and I like the way they look on the car. I also have a set (The very first set) of stainless steel sidepipes made for a Classic, made by George ? you rememmber the door deal. I put these on the car and they look stupid as hell because they are too short. I never started the car with them on. I took them back off that very day. I have them on the top of my cabinets in my garage collecting dust. They are very nice, they are just too short. They are about four to five inches too short.

Now, Tell me what to do to my Classic sidepipes and explain it as "Classic Roadsters sidepipes 101 for dummies". Or tell me what to do with the one from Kustom metal werks. If what you are telling me is true then just fixing the sidepipes should solve alot more of my restriction problems, RIGHT? I can't imagine the car running a whole lot better than it does now. I mean barking the tires in third gear with an auto trans and a small block, wow!
