Yeah,it's cool when it fires and nothing leaks or bangs. I remember my first
supercharged chrys when we fired it in the yard with about 50% in it. The
local cops showed up and said something about the noise ordnance etc. All of
the neighborhood kids liked it and booed the cops. Even the normal neighbors
enjoyed it. They knew what we were doing. Ah ! what the heck you only go
around once. What's funny some one can bring home a ski boat after a day of
fun in the water, fire up the big block and run fresh water thru it to clean
out the salt water and no one says anything, but be it a race car, that a
different story. Maybe a little louder with nitro.
