Bob, thats good to hear, maybe with the 5 speed I won't
notice it to much.

Yep, Mike Leach headers were on my mind when I mentioned long
tube, I was thinking longer than shorties.

Funny thing, I'd swear I lost torque when I first installed it.
A few weeks later I noticed I was still getting a 3rd gear chirp
from the tires after smoking them in 1st and 2nd. I don't think
the MPI 4-bbl is lagging to far behind the 2bbl in performance.
I have a friend who has an R/T w/2bbl MPI, we'll have to race
soon and compare notes. ;)
Thanks Bob!
