It's funny. All those expensive machines to piss us off and Edelbrock proved
it to the EPA that a modified engine (built properly of course) actually ran
cleaner than the "Stock" engines. (It was about 5 years ago when I read
this. Hot Rod magazine)
I know...let's all get together at a DML meet, drink lots of beer, fart in a
big 5 gallon jug, and send it to the EPA for testing. Ya never know...they
might shove Catalytic Convertors up our a$$es. heheheheeh
