Re: Max Wedge for the Street

[Jason Chance <j23@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From mother Mopar herself in regard to the Maxies:

"The long duration camshaft causes a rough, high speed idle and poor low 
speed response."

"...unstable engine operation will be encountered which may be severe 
and make normal street driving difficult and undesirable."

"...higher than normal oil consumption."

"...more engine noise."

But, hey, that is what makes 'em so much fun!
