That's what I've gathered from his mod list. The part I don't get is where he says that cutting the factor airbox is better than a heatshield and an open filter. The MAF screen isn't going to net an HP, 18" wheels(more than likely heavier than the stock 16"s and tires) are going to slow him down. And with a 2.55 60' time, he'd be hard pressed to break 16's!
By the way, what was your mph?

i also have a fidanza flywheel.
the factory air box is shaped like a cone around the filter. it has a small hole at the end which is connected to the little elbow which runs into the fender(99 svt). what i did is put in a k+n cone style filter and took out the screen(had to do some fabbing to make the factory adapter fit snug against the maf)then i cut in a circle about 5 inches of the black plastic housing that surounds the filter off this gives it more air and sheilds it from heat.
total cost = $45 filter/labor=free /cut finger=free
this set-up will be for sale if anyone wants it as soon as i recieve my cc cold air intake.
