the engine has about 5000 miles, all be it a few hard miles at the track.

the cam is a new comp cams xtreme energy 268. lift 477in/480exh with probably only 1000 miles, if that, on it and the springs to match and the heads were worked at accept a bigger lift.

i believe the popping is from the exhaust, i can feel it in my feet. but it is kinda hard to see the carb while driving. and when my dad was following my once (incase i broke down) he could hear it and it puffed out smoke everytime it popped.

i'll try the slow reving in park and see what happens.
