I have a buddy with a IROC XXXXXX, anyway when he bought the car it had heads, cam, big runner tune port injection, tb, headers, bla, bla, bla..... It never acted right on the road. We always thought well thats the cost of running 12.70s with a car that no one else can make run. One day he tells me that the car is suppose to have a mass air meter. Then he ask What is a mass air meter? We went to auto zone, bought one, put it on in the parking lott. The car never ran so smooth, drove great used less gas, perfect.

We went to the track. The car slowed down 3 tenths and 4 mph. three passes later he unplugged the meter. The car picked up and ran what it used to. He returned the meter to autozone got his money back and drove the beast home.

And people say bad stuff about SD. I guess I am a rebel. Cause I don't want to change.
