I often talk to mine and let her know she is on my mind while apart.

nice looking truck. yes, that is the correct small booster for a BB truck, may want to look at lifting the cab corner a little if VC "just will not come out" it should but it is a pain.

does it have any exhaust leaks at manifolds?

mannys are good for cooking the vc so superformance has the best and you can use some RV style exhaust gaskets that have a heat shield built into them to help save VC from cooking.
