Does back pressure really mean that much to a dodge motor? i mean i have ran a car on open headers (LSx) and it ran just fine. I supposed the 440 really relies on back pressure to create pressure if that makes any sense. i dont know, but anyhow - right now team charger and olds are hanging on by a thread with their gas milage. there car is there worst enemy right now.

I only saw some of the monument valley episode...did you guys actually take the cars around the dirt road trails through the Indian Reservation Park? Even that isn't so bad and it is much worse than the road you were on in Tuesday's episode.
For reference, I've driven a ton of the roads you guys have been doing on this trip and its been a laugh for me how some of the teams have reacted to them. Honestly, the distances you all have to cover in a day are easy.
GL as well, even though it is over. Other than the Charger guys and you, the other teams that have made it past about halfways seem like a bunch of asshats.

I was laughing pretty hard when Morgan hit the dirt road and said something like "Dad why the hell did you take me to this road?" "It is going to shave off like 47 miles seriously" "I am so pissed right now..." Than it showed tha map and showed you in the middle of no where.

when the show started i doubted Mike's navigation skill but now he is the man after that hell of a shortcut.
