Default The intake Whistle...nice

I know this may sound dumb but I just got a base line tune on my new setup and with my 4" MAF LS7 sensor and 4" lid going into the 102TB, I heard the the sweet whistle sound as I gave it a little gas. The sound is so much different than before.

I've heard it many times on a Mustang 5.0 setup.


Don't flame me for this, it's just something I noted and liked. Car sounds and feels so nice.

Btw, with the whistle. When I put my slp lid on and descreened the mad and done some hand porting and polishing mine opens up quite nicely now and gets that small bit of whistle as well. I personally think it's pretty cool to hear. It's only faint. A stock camaro comes with the stock air lid and then a "baffle" to specifically keep that noise from happening.

You know, I had a 85MAF with 90TB and 92FAST on my old setup and it never made that cool sound.

My intention wasn't to discuss my rims, BUT yes the famous blue rims...NOT... painted and done by yours truly. Think they turned nice? There are 3 different colors on them. The last last one is a blue coblat perl that turns colors like the original. Not trying to knock off an original 30th. I just love the blue/white theme. Besides if it was a true 30th, I'd leave it original so no 408. Lastly, its hard to find clean 30th rims. All WS6 rims bend easy so 30th rims can't be fixed due to the tint on them. I bought 3 real 30ths but one is bent and one has lots of rash but can be cleaned up.
