OK guys, I need some advice here...

My car is tuned in speed density and has the LS1 PCM. It is a ram air WS6 with a K&N filter and still has the stock MAF on it. The baffles have NOT been cut out of the hood.


My car is making good power to over 7400rpm. I want to make sure I am getting everything I can out of the intake setup. I have a feeling that my current intake setup is a restriction, and I also want to remove the MAF becasue it isnt being used.

What kind of high flow setup should I look into? How effective would cutting the baffles out of the hood be and making a one piece coupler from the throttle body to the airbox be?

Thanks

 

Since you are already tuned for SD, ditch the MAF. With the WS6 ram air intake, I cut the "grill" for the top piece of the intake box (bought another one so I didn't trash the original). This exposed the entire filter.

You can get rid of the baffles on the hood as well for more flow.

If you are still making power up over 7k rpm then you are doin pretty well.

 

I definatley need to cut the baffles out and remove the stock MAF. Even if the motor isn't needing much more airflow, im pretty sure i can get the IAT temps down.

I really dont want to cut out the grills on the ram air box. Mine is original and in perfect condition. Do you think they even hirt flow at all? It looks like they are angled to direct the airflow
