If I had your car, Chuck, I don't think I'd ever have it under five thousand! :)

*edit* PPS Chuck- I wanna bring two of my car loving friends by sometime to go for a ride in the L-88. Think you could stand driving it three times? (Hey, I gotta go for another ride! I might even bring the camcorder. ...if I can hold on to it?)

Yesterday we were working on the finshing touches of a base 350. I was just bending over to adjust the holley a bit and the other guy turns it over, open headers, took a few hours for the ringing to stop sounding like Big Ben and finaly today it has stopped but definate hearing loss still.

To be honest, I'd be running open header side pipes if it weren't for my neighbors. Coming in at 1:00AM after a night of cruising on open header side pipes probably wouldn't go over real well with the neighbors.
I honestly didn't think it was too loud. The sound of the big block shifting at 6500RPMs with open headers was truely a beautiful sound :yesnod:
