Cut Air Box Lid?
Can someone tell me or send pictures and procedure of a Cut Air Box Lid?
Or would it be better to buy the Open Lid from Ecklers etc.?
Trying to get a little cooler intake air.
I have a 96'.
Thanx

Hey Dennis, it is fairly easy to cut the air box lid. I did it on my 86. I removed the air lid and used a grinder with a cutting disc. Draw out a line to follow while cutting. If you want the cut to look better, you might want to purchase one from Mid America....if you have the funds.
I met Jep a few weeks ago. He talked about meeting up sometime. I'm about 30 mins from you guys.

Did the open lid give you any SOTP Feel, Improvement etc?

No, I didn't notice any improvment in SOTP. I also used a AC Delco air filter and not a K&N, but shouldn't make much difference either way. No dyno results before and after either. I figured it was free and looked like it would improve air flow.
