      mine used to do that, but since i ran a bottle of fuel system cleaner through it the smokey starts have stopped. starts and runs nice and clean now...dunno how that works, but w/e

      and yea, they do pretty much suck...i believe i read somewhere that the intake runner length is like, pretty much non-existant.

        yeah, i actually have decided against nitrous for the moment. :(

        and btw i had a friend install the headers, he is a friend, but told me he could do it right and he sucked at it. if i could go back, i could have done it myself probably better, but oh well.

                    i do think the aftermarket upper/lower intake manifold thing would be kool, cuz it would give us guys without the technical savy/money to do a full top end swap an extra option for a little more power. if the heads suck, then why not atleast maximize flow into them? It's about making the best with what you have.

                              It's not a good thing, it'll live but down the road it might bite you in the ***.

                              If it's not a seal for sure, and you did a thorough check, my guess is a ring/valve is going. How does the oil look when it comes out?

                                looks pretty darn dark.
