[Shotimes] Re: Nunnaly is probably the sharpest SHO guy on the list

Removing the fender silencer is good, but there is no need to punch holes in
the airbox and ingest hot air. Frankly, a K&N panel doesn't even do much (~1
HP, per Don's dyno tests). The stock airbox flows enough for all but the
most serious mods.

I've had serious trouble with MAFs.  At this point I think I've tried nearly
all available MAFs from SS, FPS, CSR and PP.  Every single one of them
sucked in one way or ther other.

I finally took the plunge last year and installed a 77mm Pro-Flow meter with
an oil free washable cone filter. This piece is a bit expensive, but it is
trouble free (so far) and it is definately better than the stock MAF at low
rpms. It also seems to have removed the slight stumbling I always had
somewhere between 3-4k rpm.

Btw, talking about bang-for-the-buck (BFTB) mods.

I challenge anyone to find a better BFTB mod than the following mod:

1. replace the air filter with a high-flow foam or K&N filter - ($20-$40)
2. remove the silencer cone
3. punch some holes in the stock air box.

This will give at least 5HP on a stock motor because the stock paper filter
is restrictive.

The second and third best BFTB mods are to upgrade to high-flow Y-pipe and
install UDPs.

As Mark Nunally said, the correct name for the high-flow dynomax cat-back is
"dynocrap".
