The only one thats really any good is the Throttle body bypass, or atleast what i hear. That and weight reduction. But you should search, i know you'll find the instructions for it.

TB bypass, weight loss. That's about it.

Some people say descreening the MAF will help. Personally I've done it on both of my cars and I've actually noticed a difference each time, but I'm sure plenty of people will say otherwise.

Ive heard that de screening the MAF will make the car be pretty rich and some times be good and some times not... IDK

Thx SDM! but I looked on your cardomain you have listed here and I see that I do indeed have mine on backwards... do you have any idea what I use to glue the rubber gasket back onto the lid??

on your car the tb bypass is really easy. I did my '97 in about 10 minutes.

Here they are anyway lol. Maybe someone else will need them.


Bulldog Grip is wonderful stuff, with it's 120% elasticity rating. However, I'm not sure who supplies that stuff. You can also go to your local NAPA distributor and get gasket sealant/maker. There is no need to get the high-temp stuff.

I heard theres a Driver mod, fuzzy dice mod.... and many similar some useless mods... j/k

There are no free mods, they all involve some sort of a monetary cost even if its a small amount.

From what I've read, many LT1 Cars run rich from the factory and de-screening in fact leans them out making a few horses. As much as 10 or 12 apparently on cars that ran really fat to begin with.

Descreening the MAF is a bad idea, the screen barely affects the airflow, plus stuff that gets past your airfilter will go straight down the intake. And I dont see how descreening it will affect the MAFs readings.
All the free mods I have done are the TB bypass and like you guys have already said you can do it in like 5-15 minutes. Easy mod

If something gets through the Air Filter, then it is getting through the screen infront of the MAF Sensor. That Screen is barely anything, except for air flow reduction.

how affective is the TB bypass?
