1   Was the Truck owner really that stupid???

2   When has the Lack of "back pressure" ever hurt performance of a 4 stroke 
engine; after all is is just an air compressor!  [  maybe you are thinking of 
"scavanging"...where a slightly smaller tube will HELP  draw exhaust thru when 
coupled with other cylinders further down the passage / thus increasing HP]]

3  Where is the "valley cover" on a Dodge gas v8?? [ maybe you are thinking 
of the "Plenum baseplate" ].

4   When has an engine with oil in it.....when newer [ no varnish ]  NOT  
looked BLUE??

5    Why are CORPORATE WARRANTEES different between coasts?     My Son's '98, 
 and everyone elses has the Flow Master CB  sys.  and they all had the 
"Factory Fix" of the bad Plenum base gasket...allowed OIL  to be sucked in the 
Plenum..causing pinging early on....and plug fowling later on...which makes 
"stupid"  people think  the engine is "hurt real bad"...and they need a valve 
job......gggggg..

6 a    Do you really believe these things you tell us???

6b     What have you been smokin' lately???   You didn't put "Jet Fuel" in 
the EUM  like you did your last car????

WCUH     LOL!!
