That sucker was mostly clean, but it ran through 1 qt per 100 mi....
And it bogged, pinged and sucked gas like a 454.
Mines clean too ...Does not ping, bog or suck gas....well it does suck gas....they all suck gas....I'm happy with 13-14 mpg...but there is no immediate need for me to replace my plenum plate/gasket just yet. I'm waiting on Stewie to invite me to his new place to do mine...

Typical symptoms. Towing and you'll go through 1 qt of oil every 75 mi... But in my case had cracked heads and so it would go through a cup of coolant too...
I can say I could feel a slight difference when i swapped stock to Flowmaster 40.. it sounds great but yes its a little more restrictive.
And on your air intake, like they were saying your plenum is probably blown.. and your really feeling the effects of it with the little increase air.. changes the Manifold pressure greatly.. and probably causes and seems like it boggs on you...
Yep cracked heads and blown plenum. Just what I did. If you replace the heads, get the Odessa HD heads as they are slightly larger than factory heads... No remans, they will crack again. Count on about $2500 for that job if you are thorough in it...
