RE: $300 mods

Hello,

   What is a T-body?  What does this person mean by "modify the airbox for 
$0
and how can this be done?  Will it shift better if the shifter is cut down?
How much should I cut the shifter down?

    Thanks,


   Dan

The T-body (throttle body) is what allows air into the engine.  The stock 
t-body has small ramps in them.  i just took a file/dremmel and ground the 
ramps out.  no noticeable power, but a lot better throttle response.  to 
modify the airbox, remove the snorkel from the top of the airbox, also 
remove the mesh "snow screen" and add a K&N drop in filter.  this will 
increase air flow into the engine.  the cut down shifter "feels better than 
stock, alot more solid.  the shift is shortened somewhat.  i cut 2.5" off 
mine and replaced the knob with an aluminum knob.
