Teaser pics for Envy. Very few things left on the list to do.


*hook up ABS block and lines
*Bolt up steering shaft
*muffler tip and I pipe
*air damming

As you can see, I'e been busy lately, and the body work is finally just about done. the ******* headlight still needs to be drilled out more and mvoed over some, and the hood needs adjustment.

So a few hours left of work, double checking everything as I go, im to far in to rush and make any mistakes.

UMI tranny mounted torque arm, adjustable and chromeoly.



NO to descreening my MAF, the gains from it are pathetic, and junk does get past your air filter.

Tried to start it tonight, but no luck. it clicked once and the guages and everything reset so maybe (hopefully) the battery is just weak and needs a good charge. I'll have more info tomorrow.

^^^ Think it has been proven several times that there is no point to "descreening" the MAF.

actually no hes not. de-screening the maf is for idiots. do your homework, what possibly do you imagine could benefit from doing that? worth the consequences? no.

and great buildup! its like your car is getting its second wind

i dont think fucked up A/F ratios, and little peices of **** that get past your air filter are worth the .75 HP gain from it.

Don't descreen that MAF Tainted. You'll pickup too much HP and blow up you 10 bolt! Looking good!

The only reason I have mine descreened is because I'm running a dry shot and would prefer not to freeze it up and totally block my airflow. Since he's not running with nitrous then why descreen the MAF

The only reason to descreen the MAF is for a Dry Nitrous setup.

The MAF screen halps to evenly distribute the air over the sensors, for a more accurate reading.
