Did some 'winter' upgrades to the FFR ... only I waited until the spring to put them on it.

4 into 4 headers/sidepipes .. ceramic coated. This thing is freaking loud and crackles now. No more low/dull rumble. Neighbors are gonna love me.

Also added some rear disc brakes (11.65") and adj upper rear control arms (no more wheel hop). Yeah - come 'on!

Dunno if it increased in HP - but it will flat hang the rear out for as long as I want.

Heck - they're just like the others - only silver.

I figured I would cruise by your place this evening and rev it up.

Hey Matt - just thought I'd let you know .. as we were heading back down KDW just before you turned off .. you had flames shooting out the pipes on decell. Kinda wicked, but you might want to dial back the fuel pressure/timing.

You should see that at night!!!

I am running about 20 degrees of advance to compensate for that fat cam and speed deamon carb., it doesn't back fire unless I am coming down too hard on 2nd gear like I was then...about 4500 rpm down shift.
I still can't believe how fast that small block of yours is, it was all I could do to twist out my Windsor to keep up

Thanks again for helping me manhandle that tree out of the truck and into it's final resting place...it is now planted, your'e the best!
Let's do it again soon.

Dude .. next time I come by your place, I'm doing a recon mission first. Making sure there's no yard/labor work needed to be done for you to get a kitchen pass. That full grown TREE moving stuff with no heavy equipt is a mutha.

I'm thinking of making the little fuelie a weee bit faster - yah know - just for the heck of it.
