I don't think that exhaust is going to work right, but I guess he likes the look.

I saw a street rod running around with a genuine 32-36 "flying lady" on it. I didn't bother talking to the guy because I assumed he loved the look of the thing.

I wonder what that thing would turn out on a dyno. If the Duesy added 55 hp with four valves per cylinder, a hemi head, and supercharging, I'll rekon 50 hp. If the flow potential is not there power can actually fall due to a piling up of pressure.

If it's blows up it'll make for a good noise.
