Rotten eggs and gunpowder. Cat's have a hard time keeping up with the fuel is my guess. I'm actually starting to like it :P :P :P

I don't have any smell. Since I installed my Long Tubes and high flow cats I have more of an exhaust smell (gasoline smell) out the back of the car but that's because the cats are letting more exhaust through.

Update... It's really unhappy with the cold weather.. in the mornings, feels like it's missing in a couple cylinders (leave for work at 5:30 so I can't really clean it out)...

Pull up at stop lights with the tranny in neutral and the clutch out.. the lope rattles the input shaft horrible (like it's missing in a cylinder). Got the idle up to 875rpm and it's annoying as hell..

I've got 80k miles on it.. suspect it's the plugs... What idle are others using with Hot Rods? Tranny rattle? Use standard replacement plugs???

Change your trans fluid.

I did and the input shaft noise went away. I used Amsoil synthetic ATF, but any good Mercon V equivalent should do the trick .

Still having dead miss issues on overnight start up. It's fire, not fuel. Engine runs fine after about 10 seconds...

I did Amsoil ATF as well... It didn't eliminate input shaft noise, but it did quiet it down a ton... Have to turn off the stereo to hear it rattle. We'll call it a win.

When the weather warms up, I swap plugs...

Redneck oiler set up...
