Default free mod??

I have a 99 Z28 with a stock air filter lid. I saw some guy put like like 1 inch washer somewhere under his air lid and he said it gave him like 10 hp.. Does anyone know of something like that at all? Thanks alot

you can also get the JDM L.E.D spacers, i hear there good for 10hp

but to SERIOUSLY answer your question, this mod would probably make 0 - 1 REAL WORLD hp...

Get yourself a good lid and a FTRA or what ever brand of ram air that you like..they work and will produce real HP.. ..Forget about the high perfromance washers

Here is the list of mods on his page. Some of them are on install university also.
