Car Craft Mag. states by removing the screen you usually gain 5-6 hp on their results, I removed mine and never had a problem just be carefull not to ruin the screen just in case you wanted to put it back in.

 

how exactly do you go about removing the screen?

 

The screen is held in by a ring in a grove just take a small tipped flat screwdriver and pry it at a angle and it just pops out, least thats what mine did.

 

I don't put stock in anything in magazine print.

Food for thought if you're considering it but don't have nearby friends to lend you theirs

 

2002 z06 dumped the screen! try to blow thru the screen, its tough

 

The ZO6 doesn't have a screen because it's a short straight in shot to the TB. The F-body air intake is long and has twists and turns.
