Not for me....Wide engine + large headers = PITA!

I can have all but #8 done in about 20 minutes, then it takes another 20 minutes for #8.

I fit the majority of that list.


Alot of the (5.0 guys) needs to be replaced with (Fox guys), though.

I guess I'm not a True Stanger

I did not read all of em but I did quickly scan through the list

I only passed a hand full and failed most

It seemed like most of em were exhaust related and that failed
me right off the bat

My mantra has always been

I'd rather BE fast than SOUND fast :Word:

I just washed my car the other day and I was headed to work, and the damn sprinklers in my neighborhood had a portion of the road all wet. I made a U turn, LMFAO!

I love this one. It always gets me since people point it out when I tell them my plans and I just tell them I know I did it right if I break the tranny on the first run.

Wow that was awesome. I know I am a true stanger, lol. I fit about 90% of that. Especially 15, 16, 17, and 72. But I cant change all my plugs in 15 minutes. All come out quick but the number 8 plug. And I have never had a cop pull me over to look at my car. That would be one hell of a compliment though.
