Default Free MODS for ls1's

what are all of them? just cutting out the plastic in the airbox? what are all the others? and is it FERNCO that makes the bellow you can pick up at a hardware store and use from your lid to your MAF?

thanks
Austin

there are two plastic pieces in your hood that slow down the air flow, so its not straight threw, if you look at the underside of the hood you can see some plastic rivits in there, they are holding in the baffles take a drimel tool and drell them out and then just pop them out. Very easy and helps airflow.

No reason to be sad about having a base model 'bird.....they don't need the magical ram air hood to be fast.

Some people relaly like the base models, some say they look sleaker/better. Others can't wait to ditch the hood and even do it before wheels. I however don't mind either way, I'm happy with my car right now, and it may look better with a hood, just havent decided.
