Would love to hear a video of that Magnaflow exhaust.  I'm torn between them and Flowmaster.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Here are the Magnaflow mufflers.

Today I was able to get her to idle better.
Still need some trial and error on jetting/metering rod changes to get it max'd power.

Thanks Tommy.

We're in the same boat.
Mulitple carbs, add a bigger cam and you've got work to do.
It's cooling off finally and now it's easier for me (and you) to keep working.

We'll get thru it.  :cheers:
