Default Very simple question

Recently watched a video where a guy took his 3 liter ranger and pulled a vacuum line on the throttle body and it started to sound like it was "cammed". I have a 4 liter and I was wondering if I can do the same thing? If so can someone send a picture of which line I have to pull? Thanks . Just wanted to get the sound for a video lol .

Brilliant idea. Lean mixtures = high combustion temps = burnt valves = weak engine. Brilliant plan indeed, "lol".

*And the clean air police here might chime in about what else those high temps do. :-/

Just start pulling lines until you get the sound you are looking for.

You want a sound like you have "cams"?

I say swap the cams.

Hey, you asked. Don't get mad because you're not getting the answer you wanted.

Personally, taking a video isn't worth the wear and tear on the motor.
