If you type in all caps, the forum automatically capitalizes every word. Try it.

You won't get all the HP back from the swap unless you also install the hood seal.

Its amazing how some people "can" write this way. They teach 'em in school or they just feel this easier.... or maybe they think its stylish . Its da*m hard to read, I wonder how they write it.

(not talking about you Vegas, I know you're kidding. But some ppl actually write this way)

I believe it is generally accepted that these free changes to the stock air box provide equal performance to the Black Wing. Had the BW, sold it, did this, same - could not really tell any difference from any of it. Older 98-99's (black one) were more restrictive then the 01 (red) version before holes.

What did you have on the car previously? Was it the factor paper or a gauze style filter - curious.

People will take your posts more seriously if you use the shift key only when necessary.

Well, since this car is my hobby and it sounds better, I still like the BW. I kind of wish I had the $450 back though.

HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF THEN WE MIGHT TAKE YOUR APOLOGY A BIT MORE SERIOUSLY MAYBE YOU COULD THROW IN THE OCCASIONAL PERIOD OR LINE BREAK TO SEPARATE YOUR SENTANCES AND PARAGRAPHS TOO READING YOUR POSTS IS REALLY IRRITATING WITH A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR ALL PUNCTUATION AND CAPITALIZATION AND FORMATTING

This will actually work better for my NOS Dry kit I just installed into the top of the Blackwing which I dont like. The foggers have to be ifo the MAF and the only option foward MAF is straight down into the housing of the Blackwing, thus spraying opposite the natural airflow. Relocating the MAF will allow me to move the foggers into the side of the airbridge. So thanks..I was just thinking about this and boom! there's your post..Thanks...I just ordered the reducer.
