Black Liquid spitting from my exhaust
Not just on a 'cold' start...............
Back in February, I drove for two hours to reach South Gergia Corvettes shop to get two dyno runs. Temps were in the 50s--humidity, I d/k but probably high--in South Ga.
We strapped her down and after about 1/2 hour cool-down time, I lit her up again and proceeded to achieve WOT. Aaron Scott(owner-operator) was standing next to my L at the passenger door, manning his computer. As I opened the throttle, combined with the normal scream was a black/gray cloud of exhaust smoke. After shut-down, I got out and Aaron motioned me over to the rt. 1/4-panel---it was almost covered with black droplets. He and I both thought is was excessive fuel--the a/f ratio was in the low 11s/1--on both my PSP and my JL chip(ran each chip once).
I mentioned it to Sal and he said it was more moisture/H20 than fuel??? After two hours of driving??? (See me scratch my head.)
As for chewing tobacco, I prefer Lancaster(dark leaf with a hint of licorice
). We do not spit out our windows in Georgie, btw. That's what God created styrofoam cups for.

Since we are on the subject,
Some things you'll never hear a redneck say:
I thought Graceland was tacky.
No kids in the back of the pick-up, it's not safe.
Do you think my hair is too big?
Honey, did you mail that donation to Greenpeace?
The tires on that truck are too big.
I've got it all on a floppy disk.
Do you think this ball cap goes with this shirt?
Damned if that polititian ain't honest!
We're vegetarians.
I'll have grapefruit instead of biscuits and gravy.
You can't feed that to the dog.
Trim the fat off that steak.
I just love the Opera
Cappuccino tastes better than espresso.
Wrasslin's fake.
Checkmate!

Anybody tried this?
My brother-in-law, who runs a repair shop always drills a small hole in any new muffler he installs in order to let the moisture drip out. I used to kid him about it, saying that it insured repeat business, but he has since shown me many OEM's that are made this way. I'm seriously thinking about doing this to the L. It won't help the sooting problem, but will keep it from slobbering all over the tips and my paint. If it screws it up? Well look out magnaflow, here I come!
