When i got my vert it was with the idea it would stay stock and be a nice dependable cruiser. That lasted only a few months......

I got an SLP lid for Christmas...was installed on the car an hour after I opened it.

I am still battling that one. I had/have the same idea...got a 'vert specifically because I wouldn't be able to track it...but now I have the devil on my shoulder telling me to mod it.

I have always had a modified car of some kind. You can mod these quite a bit and they are still reliable, economically good toys. I wouldn't hesitate to drive mine long distances on the freeway. If the engine compartments weren't so cramped and hard to work with I would have put a set of heads and more cam in mine too. Got a SS3600 converter going in this spring.

I agree on the space issue. My GTO had gobs of space on either side of that ls2.

This car I look under the hood and just go "wtf". Kudos to the engineer for fitting that engine in there but I seriously think some of my old imports had more space......

And hopefully next year will be a stall.

Well the ebay smooth bellow reared it's ugly head. I'll need to trim to get it to fit. Grrr. That being said the OEM bellows fits like a glove....

Cliff notes: learned the lesson of don't buy ebay smooth bellows. Granted mine was damn near as steal.

I have a very fitting username for this. But yes mod away. Sorry to hear about the shitty bellows.

GDL

Nice username. And I really wanted the bellows to work BUT a possible unmetered airflow issue is not worth 1-2 horses. Not a fan of how the stock unit is plastic but.........

If a better solution ever pops up I'll address it then.

Also the diameter of the maf side of the bellows was off as well.

I think I had to trim mine when I got it too. No biggie.

I'll bust the dremmel out one day....

GDL

Tried the dremmel and the diameter of the bellows is straight up too large on the maf side.

I know there is a how to somewhere on using pvc pipe to make your own I have come across but was far to busy last summer.
