First off, it doesn't have a carb and second, why is that a problem? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

This seems to have a stronger draw than normal. When you shut the car off you can hear a loud suction before it shuts down all the way.

I don't think there a problem with just that. Your user name suggest this is a 2003 and didn't think 5.7s were used that year? Doesn't really matter now but what model year is this? T
