talked to my ricer buddies and they have convinced me with the most concrete argument ever that adding sand into the intake helps clean out both the engine insides and the exhaust (mufflers too!). gonna try running about 50 pounds of sand. might add some kind of paint thinner to thin out the sand so it can really get into the tight parts of the engine. fart
