Default free mod??

I have a 99 Z28 with a stock air filter lid. I saw some guy put like like 1 inch washer somewhere under his air lid and he said it gave him like 10 hp.. Does anyone know of something like that at all? Thanks alot

you can also get the JDM L.E.D spacers, i hear there good for 10hp

but to SERIOUSLY answer your question, this mod would probably make 0 - 1 REAL WORLD hp...

Get yourself a good lid and a FTRA or what ever brand of ram air that you like..they work and will produce real HP.. ..Forget about the high perfromance washers

Then you might as well install the holy throttle body spacer and tornado. Oh and while youre at it slap on some nitrous stickers and youre good for another 50hp.
