Good news...not the maf. I got a street tune done on the car and the timing was off and so was the air/fuel ratios. There were points in the rpm band that the a/f ratio needed about 8% more fuel and WOW!!! I can feel a heck of a difference and i only have a catted x, flowmaster cb, and JLT cold air kit. And while i was at the shop, I was looking around and my buddy had a steeda tri-ax for my car sitting there and he offered it to me for $50...and i said sold. Didnt have time to put it in tonight but next time up there, there will be an addition of an o/r x pipe and a steeda tri-ax. HELLS YEA!!!

nope, just add another quart of oil and you'll be fine. I finished adding the oil to my car. Total of 6 quarts and runs fine. I think i just had a too many miles on my ams oil. But now i find out that my alternator is getting bad. I have an extra one sitting around at my buddy's shop with my shifter and o/r x pipe waiting to go on so that should be fine soon. the bearing is getting bad and my belt is starting to wear because of the extra strain the alternator is putting on it. So i also need a new belt. Oh well...glad graduation is next week and i already paid for my shifter($50) with grad money. So stuffs getting paid for.
