Default Modded or stock?

There seem to be a lot of people out there with modded engines, and a lot with stockers. Who has the majority? BTW, I don't consider a larger TB or an Airfoil, open lid, etc to be modded. I'm talking the engine itself.

Heads / cam / headers / intake manifold / stroker, etc counts as modded. Something you can't just take off in 15 minutes.

Not only a stock motor. Just took the tranny in for a rebuild and had the shift kit removed and returned it to stock also.

I kept my car stock for about six years, then I added Corsa's. This was the beginning of my addiction. Yes, I am addicted to HP and I will always have this disease. There is no cure, and for those of you who are "stockers" be glad that you have never gone down this road of no return. :cheers:

If you have ever smoked a kid in a Mustang or one of those C-5's you know what I mean. Just a dumb old man with nitrous and a few mods.
C-4's rule.. :smash:

Stock. :flag

Stealth cut lid, ported/polished MAF, soon to include a TB bypass. What I really want is one of those tubes that connects the air box to the MAF and the MAF to the TB. I want a smooth one without all those ridges in it. Why again did GM do this? And why doesn't any aftermarket company make them for the '92-'96 LT1/4? :confused:
