you're definitly right Will, i was pulling my hair out trying to figure that one out, but finally did and passed along the info from my experiences. i just cant wait till spring when i install a NOS NOSzle direct port wet system, , also i just got a MAF from a 96 impala SS with a LT1 in it, im going to install it in my intake tube and remove the one from the TB and cover it, then machine all the crap out of the TB that was there for the stock MAF. not bad for picking up a like new MAF for 50 bux .
there is alot of stuff you can do and not cost lots of money. like my cold air box, it cost me 15 bux. sometimes you just need to sit down and think a little and put some of the ideas to use and sometimes they work, and others they dont,[ like the torque steer rods, worked great when i wasnt ripping them off or cracking control arms ]
you just need to take a chance and see if it works
