Default WOW!!!

I put a K&N in my paltry LT1 today. Then I took a ride, and put the pedal to the woodfor the first time since I bought this thing. Talk about havin' to take a deep breath!!!

OH MY GOODNESS![sm=gears.gif]And I thought my L98 was a strong twister. WHEW! 0 engine tweeks thus far too. Except the K&N. I can't imagine what some of you guys' machines with LS1 does!

Does the filter really power up a V8??? 12 extra HP? 15?

Typically, a K&N and a new lid add only about 3-5 RWHP. But that is compared to a clean, stock, air cleaner. Compared to an old and dirty filter -- particularly some no-namebudget filter,they might produce 10-12 HP more, enough power to actually feel.

No, I wasn't there, Sdz. Thanks.

That looks like a good idea tho'... And I already got a sabre saw and hackblade[8D]. Why not? I just got done drillin' my door panels, might as well keep right on with the hacksaw!!!

Not a problem.

Good stuff. I saw that link posted hererecently, but didn't hit it. This time I did, and thesite host said after he hacked his airbox, he couldn't tell a difference. That's a surprise to me, as it seems to have been with him. I might go there, after I fix the leak in this heap[:@]. Legs have been un-cooperative the last two days, from that hit last year.

How's the back there?

Thanks for askin'

Not real good... Lot's of pain 24/7 even with the narcotics[:'(]

Attorney keeps telling me "it should be any day now" (3 years).

I would think cutting it out would HAVE to allow more air in. Therefore, better flow, etc...

Still waiting on my polished alternator so I can't even drive my baby

I know, I know, I could have just bought one at AdvancedAuto.

But this one LOOKED sooooo coool[8D]

Keep the wave alive[sm=icon_cheers.gif]
