I was 19 with a mid 80's 302 in an 84 Bronco....I put a new intake and 4 bbl carb......and a less restrictive exhaust......I broke the exhaust off behind the cat....and welded up something that exited just in front of the rear axle......
it may have "breathed better" but 19-24 year old males are better at turning gasoline into noise....with the occasional acceleration mark(s) on the highway...or sidewalk.
