    2nd Post ever 0 - Long tube question

    on a stock motor you probally lost some low end power, i know i did. to me, it seems like i can hear the engine, itself, alot more than i could with shorties. but i'll never go back to shorties, just because its alot easier to remove the mid-pipe.

    Installed fuel pump without strainer...Okay?

    i think it will be fine without the strainer, (i didnt have one in my '86) as long as you keep the tank clean (lol, they may not be logical). the pump should have a screen in it anyway. but if you ever have any fuel problems, you'll know where to look.
