the video is just of the truck starting, idling, and reving a little bit. you can kinda get an idea what the magnaflows sound like.

Its definitely got a different tone to it. It would take me a bit to warm up to it, but I like it.

I bet it really screams when you get on it. Have you turned her loose yet? Broken in the motor completely? Since its summer and im working very close to my home now, im going to try to ride my bike to work to save on gas seeing how its 2.24 a gallon here. Then its more money for heads/cam setup

engine is broke-in. it has about 650 miles on it so far.

i pretty much have it tuned right, cept the carb running a little lean. timing is setup good. it doesnt ping any more, but i have to run 93 octane. no matter what i set the timing at, it will ping with 91. i didnt wanna change the advance springs so much so that it comes in really late.

yes, i have gotten on it, just not a lot since i dont wanna brake the law that much yet

i've only had it up to about 90 or so i'm sure. it still had a lot of engine left in it.


headers are Hedman Elite shortie headers. fit perfect. it is very loud when i get on it. in the video, i'm sure its only revving to about 2000rpm or so. next thing to get is a tach, then my dent fixed, then my rearend done up.

Yeah, I dunno if id want to get on it too much either. Things break real easy with a lot of power like that

Some gears would really bring that sucker to life, but I dunno if it'd have that much left in it after 90. But who needs to go over 100 in a flying barn door anyhow.

I love the sound of my Magna Flows. They are really mellow going down the highway but nail on them and it sounds like all hell is breaking loose. Most of all they sound diffrent everyone and their dog around here has Flowbeaters including my wifes truck couldnt talk her out of them.

Looks and sounds great. As for breaking the law-you dont have to speed-just get to the limit really fast.
