Thanks for your info Spin, It is very accurate. I just removed mine and no codes and seems to run a lot better, I'm sure it is good for some HP. With the Corvette relatively straight passage between air filter and MAF the straightener (screen) isn't needed...
The Corvette is about pushing everything to the edge.

I submit a lot of help to people on this board and when I see false rumors perpetuated, I couter it to stop myths from continuing. You made a statement and rather than discuss it in a mature way, you want to compare educations to see who is right.

Experience alway beats education, hence why you cant read a book to learn to weld. It was your asking the education level that caused the problem here as if you negate a person's experience by asking about degrees; Its disrespectful.

Your post above is in violation of the forum rules. Whats funny is you edited it several times to optimize your insults. I would have respected a disagreement with proof which was all you were asked for.

I realize I could have defused this out the gate so I'll go first: While your friends/assicates with engineering degrees may have sound reason to believe that the screen is needed, factual research has shown this to not be true, as highly modded cars can run fine without the screen. I value your input and wish we could start over on a respectful new beginning. I am sometimes forceful with my positions but am not being disrespectful to you. I appologize if it was interpreted that way and rest assured you werent the first to think that. If you ever need help or want to debate things feel free to contact me.
Classy guy. I don't understand why there is any argument in the first place, but that is just me.
