Are they bouncy at all, make any more noise inside the car then stock? Where did you buy them?

they're not bouncy, but they're stiff (expected). That squeaky noise is the only noise.

Nice car, not diggin the extreme camber though. Also, I would get your engine scanned with that MAF you got. Those MAFs have been known to lean the crap out of an engine.

I think the camera angle and lens effect on those first couple pics make the camber look worse than it really is.

very good call on going with the coilovers. i can already see you making a thread like everyone else trying to figure out how to rig the rear to slam itself, lol.

i also see that the mobens require the use of your OEM front upper mount, just like my k-sports. i wish that weren't the case so we could use it for camber correction.

turn that sleeve nut a tad more and dump it.

i talked to the palce he go his at. the MAF is 299, and it will "add" 8-25 hp. and a better throttle response. i may swap it out when i do the TB and put in a blower cam.

no offense but thats a load of crap, id love to see a dyno test of a maf only gaining 8-25rwhp. i bet you wouldnt see 8hp crank on a bolt on car.

its a good thing that she is going to be a bolt on car soon.

the gains are measured on a LS2 GTO. since the LS2 intake is far my restristive then the LS6, the gains are possible. since the MAF will allow about 60% more air flow. granted the more mods done to the car, then better the gain you could see. i am not saying by me chaging the MAF right now, i will gain 25hp. i think the further i get into the modding posses, i will see a gain with a aftermarket MAF. like once i get a new cam, new TB, and a blower...

edit: Website. no graphs, but i didnt ask for one, haha. and its 377 not 299. looks like the email i have was wrong.

For a MAF best one out there is the Abaco digital MAF. Programmable, and good to like 1300 HP.

I have one on my twin turbo corvette... drives like a dream.

No MAF is adding that much HP its just the signal quality that will help get you a better tune.
