The only ones I know of are the throttle body bypass and the iat trick. The throttle body bypass just keeps the coolant from running through the throttle body. I'm not familiar with the other one I have not done it.

isnt the other one just the resistor in the intake? if so it causes you to lose power

Ill give you a free K&N filter, then you install it, it will be a "free" mod

There a couple of things, like blocking the hole that drops down in your elbow.

i already have a k&n filter...im wanting to go full roller on the motor and a cam...but like every other dick jane and hairy i dont know what cam to get either...i wanted to get a gm847 but everyone told me it was too big, but yet i want more than the hotcam. i also want to delete the AIR and the EGR but i heard it doesnt offer any hp and i was wanting to go with lts and an ory, with 30lb/h injectors with a pcm4less tune...and while ive got the heads off i might p/p them and the intake...right now just plans, i doubt it will happen for a while, and also what do you use to fill in the silencer hole? and one last thing...would it be better to just get an elbow or just leave the stock on with the thing removed and plugged?

The IAT Trick usually is the resistor, but I recommend relocating it further down the intake tube than that.

Well that was dumb...


You're really wasting your effort. Do the TB bypass and leave it be. Messing with the MAF screen is a bad idea.

The MAF mod has been highly recommended AGAINST doing it. Theres no point till after 500hp.
