Yeah... it's not that it did anything badly. It's just that it didn't do anything better than the stock airbox did. It's only nice feature is that it looked good in combination with my SD system.

My stereo was a great investment, but looking back at it, I could have had a blower if I saved a little more.

lol right under mob here: gt-40 non 'p heads. got them for a c-note, but as nieve as i was, didn't bother looking into what they were or needed. as far as i knew they said gt-40 on them and that was good enough. ended up screwing my whole valvetrain geometry somehow.


lol i will say though, $2000 well spent was the paxton for my trans am. that thing kicked the **** out of my cars engine, but it was soooooooooooooo fun lol

EDIT: Oh and I regret buying a vert, top costed me 1700 bucks to fix up. That could of been a killer set of ported heads right there on a nice hard top.
