damn, i degreased mine a couple of days ago and it looks fine!

 

yea... like i said, i think it's an issue with the materials used on the TSP lid...

 

yea man, that sucks. Hell, can it be painted? Might be able to make it look kinda cool.

 

did that tb spacer add any hp

 

Yea... I used engine degreaser the other day...Imagine all of that white **** all over a nice brand new FAST 90 T-body, brand new heads, brand new FAST 90 intake, the strut bar etc....Never again..

 

i was wondering if anyone was gonna notice that... there are people on here and other forums that give me a ton of **** having that thing on there... they can say what they want... I myself instantly noticed some low end torque with that thing... however, since this happened I'm thinking i might get rid of it if/when I get a new lid/filter combo... ya see I had to trim my TSP lid and cut off about a good inch of it to make up for the room the TB Spacer took up...

here's a picture of it... it's got a corkscrew design in it which supposedly atomizes the air better...

 

This is why I recommend using ORANGE CLEAN for degreasing ANYTHING. Hell, I don't even use Orange Clean. I use the knockoff "Awesome Orange" that you can buy at the dollar store. It smells great, is 100% natural and harmless and gets off grease/oil/power steering fluid/brake fluid/trans fluid...you name it...like magic. And best of all, if you accidently ingest if for some reason, you're fine as it's a natural degreaser

Even better yet, if you buy Orange Clean, you support my man Billy Mays, creator of Oxy Clean, Orange Glo and KABOOM! Makes stains go KABOOM!



Damn, I think I know what my new avatar's gonna be.





This thread title made me lol. Anyone ever see the movie Dirty Work?

*Over opera house PA sytem* "Note to self: remember to get *** wart cream for giant wart on my ***."

 

 

damn that blows!

 

i had a granatelli lid that sort of did the same thing.. not as bad as yours though.. I just painted it with 500* glossy black engine enamel... looks brand new..

 

yea.... i could paint it... but i live in an apartment complex in Phoenix, AZ now so besides not having all my tools I used to have at my parents house... the main thing is it's just too ******* hot outside for it to bother me right now 114 degrees ftl

 

i painted mine while it was still on the car.. just lay in some news paper where you dont want it to get and spray it.. but then again mine wasnt as bad as yours... but its not like you need a show quality paint job.. its a lid..

 

painted while on the car?!?!?! your nuts!

 

to my knowledge, MTI was the best flowing, then tsp being 2nd i think.
