I lived in South Florida for 3 yrs doing high rise construction. Fished fresh and saltwater almost daily, and had more gator encounters than I can recall. 4 ft gators that people feed and cause them to lose their fear, are 100 times more aggressive than a 10 ft wild gator that rarely encounters people. Small gators can move faster than a big gator. On ground none of them are fast.

I wouldn't be afraid of a gator in the wild. I sure wouldn't camp close to where people feed them, like the airboat tourist rides out on the Trail in the Glades.

I did that somewhere up in the panhandle, had a guy tell me the next day the woods around there had a lot of black bears. All I was thinking was I was too far north to worry about gators...

Did you go with a catch can or vent to ground? Looks great! Real AN is way better imo. I can't stand the fake stuff on cars.

I went vent to ground.
They don't drip enough to worry about the rear tire getting slick. It sure makes a difference in how the throttle body looks though!
