@krazy4 best trap speed before the headers was 98 mph, i've done 102mph with the headers as well, but wasn't best run. Can be attributed probably to me not shifting at the perfect time. Only other lt1/ls1 f-bodies here I seen brake the 100mph trap speed have more than me in the case of mods (not that there isn't just that I haven't seen it). Before I get flamed for that, note I don't think I'm better than the others around here, we were actually very shocked when I broke out with a 13.9 dial in. I attribute the difference between my car and the other lt/ls1's around here might be because my car only has 36k miles, while all the others have rolled over 100k. Also, that DA can be off, as it's just a weather channel DA not for the track, which is actually about 15 miles outside city limits.
@siezethemoment interesting you should ask that considering not many people would have understood the dilemma there. Yes we used the stock coupler and maf. we used a thick silicone coupler to act as a seal between the maf and the lid. So it looks like the maf is just straight into the 104 lid but there is actually a strip of silicone keeping it sealed. Before you flame me.. this is a temporary fix. Moving to a fast lsxr mani and tb in about a month, didn't want to keep stock lid on there, and didn't want to buy a temporary better flowing lid. Oh also, the stock coupler is compressed fully when you set it up like this.
