Hi all
Cars running lovely now and I know they crackle and pop on the overrun but I get a large bang when changing up when accelerating hard ,just wondered if there all like it or if there's anything amiss .
Cheers

Hi matey


If the overrun valve has been wound in then yes..as you de-accelerate the excess fuel gets ignited...the absence of air causes the fuel to explode instead of burn...if it blows the manifolds off then worry...hehe

Mine is the same but it depends on the weather conditions for some reason. Colin

Been out for a spin in the 390 this evening to pick the daughter up from dance class and if I'm hoofing it then likewise as I drop the clutch to change up there's a bang/pop out of the exhaust before I select the next gear. All part of the Wedge driving experience I think.
