Well,
Just test drove for about a 1/2 hour and no popping at low rpms. Saw a post by John Giasi about spark plugs backing out of his Trick Flow heads. So I said to self, "Self- let's check that out since we have TW heads as well." Self said OK- didn't have sh*t else to do. Found 1 plug was not completely tight and 1 was backed off at least 1/8th turn. Tightened them up- and voila'! Smooth. Ready for Fri. night. Gonna try open offroad pipe...
