There's some righteous advice...


I agree & get a lot of thumbs up from female truck lovers, but until I swap the huge cam in my 383 mag for the Lunati Truck Avenger cam I ordered, I'm in the same boat. Not only fuel smell & wet tail pipes, but my low stall verter, tall tires & gears makes for lousy low end performance & poor fuel economy. Installing a 1" 4 hole spacer on the Weiand dual plane & 600 eddy carb + bumping initial to 20 improved low end manners a little, but still not acceptable for street performance.
Thought of Rhodes lifters to tame the overlap, but heard they're not that predictable. Think a cam swap is your best solution to not only fix the smell issue, but better performance & fuel economy.
