NO! - it doesn't make that awesome sound - but it is a vastly better carb than the Edelbrock or the T-Quad for a daily driver / street car. I reluctantly upgraded from my old "Demonsizzled" Thermoquad due to how much of a pain in the butt it is to get good parts, and the difference is night and day better with the Street Demon. Started w/ a 650 on my '82 AHB Gran Fury w/ 318 + Edelbrock Performer; also replaced the original Carter AFB on my '66 Plymouth Fury w/ 383. A BIG help was doing the Lokar throttle and trans-kickdown cables at the same time. BTW had no interference issues w/ the throttle blades - tried it on both the stock 4BBL cast iron manifold and the Performer.
