SkarodoM,

I don't agree with all you said. All those little mods add up together and in the end you may be looking at an extra 15 HP which can definitely win a race. You won't feel any buttometer difference but your timeslips will show a couple of tenths less.

As far as the screen on the MAF, it is a FREE mod and the F-Body FAQ listed a significant increase in CFM. If you have a Cold Air Intake, the main restriction on the intake flow is the MAF.

As far as the slicks are concerned, I had ordered a pair of Mickey Thompson's ET Streets the day before I crashed my car so I was going to risk it like you and run it until it breaks but I am not going to recommend anybody to do so. As Skyman said himself, him and his buddy don't know much about these cars so I made sure to underline the weakness of the 7.5" ring in the stock rear-end. Especially with the 4.10's.

Oh, another free mod I forgot is relocating the Air Temperature Sensor away from the Throtle body as it picks up false heat comming from it. If the Computer thinks the air comming in is warmer than it really is, it will retard the timing more than it needs to.
