OK, I have to ask - isn't there a point of diminishing returns on airbox mods? I've removed the snorkle, put a UNI in, and it seems to run great. Am I going to get any appreciable improvement by drilling out the bottom of the filter and airbox? It seems like there must be a limit on just how much the intake air restriction can really be reduced without (gasp!) a turbo or supercharger. Oh, man, that's starting to sound like an idea...

Some guys swear by drilling the box. It didn't do anything for me except lean out the mix too much. I bought a button plug (from Lowes or H Depot) before I drilled. That way I could easily reseal the hole if it didn't work. It was 1 1/4" or 1 3/8".... don't remember.


More flags More fun!

Well you ARE quoting my favorite Floyd song (OK, maybe except Wish You Were Here), so I'll take your advice...
Thanks Grump!
