SLP MODS no hp?
SLP MODS no hp? I have ordered The Flow pack,MAF,Diablo sport against what a lot of people have said but some people say a lid is a lid and they all flow the same and whats wrong with the maf is not bigger(85mm) than the stock one and thus flow better?And as for the smooth belows the must look better than the stock ugly thing.And whats wrong with the k&N element that comes with it No good? must be better than stock.Point is this pack must flow a lot better than stock and produce more HP question is how much?I know the tuner is good cause of all the tuning options gear ratios,tire sizes,transmission stuff and reads DTCS etc etc etc.And price is not that bad for the Maf it is 50% cheaper than any others on the market.

If you've already purchased the SLP Flow Pack, then you've just made your first newbie mistake to modding the LS1.
Buying those parts as a package like that is a ripoff, as you will learn by reading through this site here. Many people make that mistake because SLP always makes huge HP gain claims for their products. The lid will help the most and you're right: a lid is a lid and they all net about the same HP. The bellow, as you know, does jack ****. And the K&N filters have proved to do next to nothing for adding power to our cars. Get a regular Fram paper filter and save your money next time. The "ram air" thing they give you will help a bit, but not a ton. And finally, their MAF isn't the greatest at all either. If you ever have the car tuned anywhere, they'll likely want you to have the stock MAF in. I know Speed Inc won't tune a car with an aftermarket MAF; you have to purchase a new stock one from them or put your old one in before they'll touch it.
Live and learn.

Lid = good mod.
K&N = good filter.
Bellow = cracked lids + .000001 CRANK hp. = wasted money.
MAF = Don't even get me started.
What the hell are you doing here if you're going to read good advice and then not take it? The least you could do is not tell us that you already read the ****. Why don't you stick a piece of 6" PVC in place of the MAF, it would flow tons more air.
This reminds me of this thread....

The only problem with that as far as im concerned is the MAF. I made the mistake of purchasing one of the SLPs and already had them replace it cuz it kept throwing the SES light. Put the new one on and its still throwing SES codes. Even after working with the predator its still ******* up. Im just going to put the stocker on and try and get my $100 back. The predator is a good tool if you dont plan on doing anyhting more than bolt-ons... otherwise its prob not worth your money.

The smooth bellow is mostly for looks, but I like how flexible the stock one is. I used to have a fernco on mine, but it cracked my lid so I tossed it.
The SSRA is a good mod, just be carefull as **** when you're driving or it'll get yanked off real quick like. I'm minus the bottom half right now. I could get a new one for only like $60 or something, but I'd be REALLY pissed if it got ripped off again.
