Whats with the smell?
I think twice before flooring it due to the fact that it leaves an aweful smell of fireworks and sometimes like "rotten eggs". Its funny as f*** every time, but Im getting tired of it what could it be.
Its a 91 5.0. I think its running rich also or the carbon-canister is broken because it smells like gas when I put the windows down.

RE: Whats with the smell?
stock 5.0 should have 4 cats right? 2 upstream, 2 downstream. I have an aftermarket h-pipe with only 2 high-flow cats...would that be the issue? or new o2's since I think they have never been replaced?

2 new cats are just as good as the old 4 cats, you'll still pass emissions, that doesnt make the egg smell unless, they are clogged already... do you have the smog pump hooked up?
