Just sitting here snickering to myself....yeah I can remember throttle
tuning a Dual Quad Tunnel ram on a Big Block as a kid with long hair....
Right up to the point it back fired and took half my hair with it....
I think I was looking into it to see if both throttle blades were opening
all the way... don't remember much but the smell of hair burning and a
garden hose ....
Funny as hell now.... but at the time I thought that hair was important....
