Because the stock MAF can handle over 500hp and a bellow is worthless. The lid's fine though

It's not so much that a MAF is a bad thing...it's just that money could be better spent elsewhere for better gains, like headers, etc

on my old z28.. the bilsteins and eibachs.. ruined the ride quality..

slp is a lil pricey on some things...but their exhaust and lid i think is well worth it IMO....377 is a good fair price on exhaust and out of all the lids i have seen slp's fits and looks the cleanest...plus i love the slp logo on the lid....its the first thing ya notice when ya pop the hood....well that and the nitrous kit!!!

I think I had the slp or whisper LId.. hell if I can remember now. But it didnt have anotch cut-out in it for the lil bump on the MAF.. and the four lil back clips were hell trying to get em down, and the front passanger metal clip always popped open. Hated my lid

i shouldve saved up and went with a more agressive cam and TC.


i got my moneys worth out of my ls6 cam though. i had it in the car for 3 yrs. then sold it at a descent price.


now i need to sell my stock heads. my H/C i went with was a good decision though. LTs too.

Should have done more reading about Header Installation. Just installed a set of PS Lt's and TSP Catted Y-Pipe, I had o2 extensions but failed to purchase O2 Bugs for rear O2 sensors. Damn I should have done more reading...
Since I'm here I might as well ask, how much are a set of O2 bugs goin' for?

I should have left my car stock and drove it. Each year it gets more modified and I drive it less and less. Leave your car alone, once you start getting into engine mods the car will never be the same again..it just becomes a never ending money trap. And you will never be satisfied, you will always want to make it faster and faster. And we all know it's true!
Drive your car and enjoy it for what it is.

i can say the same thing on yanks and fuddles...you get your goods and bads with every brand....my friend zach has had a 3800 stall in his since 40xxx miles hes never had any problems on it and its has over a 100k on the clock now....so ya never know...i could get on here and flame your choice of buying a fuddle since i know a guy that is a distributor for fuddle and when i went to him to get a stall he recommended going with TCI because he was waiting for his contract to run out with them so he could switch to a TCI distributor because the fuddles he was dealing was givining his shop a bad name...im not saying nuttin bad about fuddles...like i said...u get your goods and bads!!!

Man that was the 1/4 in reverse..

thats half of it, the other was street tires at 40PSI, and the fact that after i started spinning i said **** it and kept doing, smoked them for just about the 1st half of the track before its started gettting really squrily

hell the 13.0 @ 107 was done at 17PSI and still pedaling it out of the hole, gotta love those 2.5 60'

either way, too many times if seen/heard of TCIs going bad, and i talked to someone whos used many different brands of converters, said every TCI hes driven feels a whole lot looser than the others

personally i'd stay away from their converters, everything else is fine

well if my tranny/converter goes bad ill make sure to post up on here about it...its got about 3k miles on it since the stall was installed and so far she still shift likes shes brand new...and i picked up almost .6 off my time with the stall...and sounds like you need more seat time or something because i went 8.39 @78.xxx with lid exhaust...my 1st time ever at the track....and i was on street tires...brand new bfg's..

iTrader: (8)

i need more seat time becuase street tires don't hook with a 2.5 STR

oh and my 1st ever time at the track, with brand new bfg kdws: 8.917 @ 81.830 MPH, and then with a lid/loudmouth: 8.567 @ 84.910 MPH
