Default First hot rod destruction!
Well, needless to say I almost crapped my pants... Took a buddy for a ride ... I hammered it, took off, was about 6900 rpms and then POW! Heard something hit, and then the a sound from under the hood that was sure to make anyone not want to look under the hood... All is well... Blew the egr tube port off of the header... Sure didn't want to pull over and raise the hood!

That was one of the reasons I took EGR off when I put LTs on my Formula.
