LOL, FlowShi*s... Um, i put Long flow flowtechs on my '83 berlinetta, and i had some problems with gas line clearance... i had to move them.. but.. Flowtechs are not really that Big in the performance part of things..

Spark plugs.. lol, i have to use a 5/8s wrench that i modified..

Car sounds Good BTW.. Is that with Flowtechs?

SLP makes one, its like 23 bucks for a tiny little socket its stupid... Just get creative with a 5/8 open-end-boxed end wrench for the plugs that are behind the header primaries... sorry I can't explain it much better than that... o yea Summit sells SLP's little plug socket if getting the plugs in is really that much of a problem for you, but IMO its a waste of money, nice berli by the way man!!!

The car sounds odd. Was it firing on all eight when you recorded the video?
