A friend of mine has drilled holes in the top of his air box, does this help or hurt the airflow of a stock airbox?

Thanks
Eddie

 

Holes in the top of the air box???.....you mean above the filter? No, it's a horrible idea, unfiltered air will enter the motor carrying with it dirt and grim which will cause premature ring failure.

 

Tell your friend to join LS1Tech immediately so he can learn how to
properly mod his car.

Holes on top of the air box =

 

Wow!!

 

ha ha ha ha ha....im sorry.your friend must not know much about cars.

 

just tell him to get an aftermarket lid, people sell them so cheap in the used section sometimes. and holes letting unfiltered air isnt a good idea overtime plus it just might cause too much turbulence and hurt airflow.

 

did he drive a honda before getting an Fbody? sounds like something a ricer woudl do

 

haha take that drill away from him before he starts drilling holes in the muffler for better flow.

 

he should drill a few holes in his head

 

AHHHHHH.......... The speed hole mod

 

thats the stupidest **** I have ever heard of, super ghetto, and wont do ****

 

Gawd...heard it all now!

 

Actually, it will do a lot to increase intake airflow and increase power. Better yet, throw away the lid and filter for maximum airflow. And don't forget to descreen the MAF.

 

Why not just take the whole air box off? Be really free flowing, until you suck up a bird or something.

 

That crazy bastard was trying to get me to do it, and to answer one of your comments he is a VW guy!

I will check out the used section for a lid...thanks again.

Eddie

 

Wow, just wow. People never cease to amaze me these days.

Peace,
Craig.

 

Tell your friend he's a friggin moron.

 

Wow...

 

Who Does That . . ?

 

I just realized something.

evolution1971 - This guy, friend of yours that did this, what kind of car are we talking about that he did this to?

I'm thinking now it was not an LS1 but another car with maybe a conical filter and he just might have chopped/drilled the let more air in?

If not LS1 then fine, but on the LS1 the top of the "airbox" is an area after the filter and crap would get in.

Peace,
Craig.
