alright yea i know the bbk CAI isnt doing the trick. the guy at the dyno said i am getting too much turbulence through the mass flow sensor. thats why i want to go with the anderson powerpipe because the sensor is at the beginning of the pipe and is supposed to slow down the velocity of the air over the sensor. I would like to switch to 1 3/4 longtubes with an x pipe and powerflows. my flowmaster setup seems like its pretty restrictive. yea im torn on what size throttle body to switch to. i want the accufab racebody like grabbem suggested just don't want to go too large and end up hurting my performance

89 coupe you took my statement wrong..when rumors and opinions fly you tend to look at what you have that fits in that area...i won't change my mind about afr,but i will say this..take the bbk cai mass air metter off and get an accufab racebody bigger headers

and yes a custom cam...mine sit's in a closet
calm down skippy.i have a 75mm trick flow and 3.73's to.i didnt say a 75 wouldnt work. i said be carful on how big you go. you wouldnt put a 1050 dominator on a 289 would you? well maybe you would !

yea that won't be a big deal either. hopefully those changes will help. i probably wont do the cam until the end of the summer. i only have about 400 miles on the new motor anyway so ill have to live with it for a little while
