well... your a wise man indeed then.

n/a is definitely fine. i live with being slow....and thrifty.

I like having the gearing lol performance engine builds just get me in trouble with police, the wife and the bank life’s simple in the slow lane. Set it at 72 and ride

Hated my long tubes with a passion lol. Didn’t make it a year before cooking two starters and rotting off at the collector. I’ll take my log manifold any day

The long tubes pictured sit right by the starter. The efi model mini starters take it better but meh still rotted off after a New York winter
