+10 points for roasting the tires....in your driveway 
That grille has got to go though, gotta keep that huge FMIC cool. Might be time for a black billet grille with the center section removed?

With some heat in the BFG's and good grated concrete road its surprising. Now on other surfaces I'm sure that won't be the case...Did some suspension tweeking too so I'm sure that helped a little.

I don't know I like the clean/stealth look and so far unless I'm doing some back to back pulls the IAT doesn't look too bad. If I decide to go meth I wouldn't need to make any better air flow for the IC anyway. The holes have been opened up considerably from they way they were before so I know its moving some air. Plus the "small" filter is right behind the front cover so I don't want it seen because of possible "filter" envy...
As much as you light highway bombing, an open nose would make even cooler IAT's. Even the cut out license plate hole on a Firebird isn't big enough to fully cool an FMIC properly. Its a little bigger than Camaro holes too.
Or, I suppose you could wire up some e-fans on the front of the FMIC. If you have one, might as well use it at max efficiency!

... Part of this is attributed to burst knock on DJ's car not knock but burst knock. Ill be working on this on the next tune. He will be breaking those tires loose dont worry.
