moc · 04-09-2002, 10:19 PM

Just put it on ,need to clean up my airbox ..so i put the cone on
for a picture ... I took it out sware i could feel a difference !

Hozer 88GTConv · 04-09-2002, 10:23 PM

Did you get a new MAF with it? What size? It looks good and I am thinking about getting one. I still have the stock p.o.s. rubber tube thingy connecting my 73mm c+l and 65mm tb.
Damn nice clean engine bay too.

hmmm, yours is cleaner!

moc · 04-09-2002, 10:32 PM

I've had the C&L 73 ever since the came out ,and i have same 65 T/B in fact C&L want you when you hook it up ,to run the airbox (with K&N) and delete the bracket that mounts the MasAir .acuse when the motor torques . they found the most H/P with that setup I just have to clean up the box before i put it back on

Hmmm...what'd that set you back?

Hozer 88GTConv · 04-09-2002, 11:02 PM

moc,
I am curious about the recommendations c+l made.
Tony G at Hocus Pocus said he didn't think much of Mac cold air because of the 90* bend in the tube just before the MAF and he feels that the setup cost cost hp.
Any info you have would be appreciated. I am trying to scare up any hp I can. See my NA goal below.
Thanks

you wanna see dirty

moc · 04-10-2002, 10:07 PM

I'll tell ya ,don't run without the Massair bracket without the factory air box !!!!!!!

moc · 04-10-2002, 10:14 PM

It was $99.00 Bucks and I can tell a little difference .. I feels like it opens up a tad faster .. but it looks better .. so thats why

Jeb_Bush_2000 · 04-10-2002, 10:23 PM

Exactly. It looks better.

The strut tower brace looks awesome, too. I need to get me one of those.

moc · 04-10-2002, 10:30 PM

I mean if you want to get rid of that EYESORE ha it's worth it
It looks real good .. got that not so straight clean look ..

I've had my C&L for so long I can't remember what it is!! Or maybe it's because I stopped by the bar before I came home!!!

RED92LX50 · 04-11-2002, 03:17 PM

Just curious - does anyone know what that thin piece of metal atached to the firewall at the passenger side above the brake lines is for. It looks like half of a band-aid but has holes in it... I have no idea what it is for? Maybe to hold up the hood liner from the back if the holders fell out??

Also, would putting in a 73mm C&L (calibrated for 19lb injectors) be of any benefit on an otherwise mostly stock car, or would it need to be done in combination with a larger EGR/Throttle Body/ and Intake?

moc · 04-11-2002, 04:47 PM

That brass looking tab. Is for lightning strikes.. it's a ground for your hood ( no *****) and yes you would feel a difference with a 73mm C&L ,slight but you would feel it

RED92LX50 · 04-12-2002, 07:06 AM

Really - a ground for the hood, I would have never guessed that! Good thing I only drive on sunny days now that I removed mine
