Re: the air box and stuff

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

No noticable gains anyways. I have my breather disconnected (because i hate
that oil coating the intake..) and i was hoping for a performance increase
but there is absolutely nothing noticable. MAYBE 1/4 hp if you're lucky. 

Oh yeah, but cutting holes in the airbox doesn't have anything to do with
the PCV hose because the hose attaches ABOVE the filter. if you have half a
brain your not going to cut the box above the air filter!!!

I'm going to get a K&N breather filter to mount on the end of the pcv hose
or the valve cover. those chrome ones look trick but my valve breather
angles down and I'm sure would drip oil all over the engine during the
first few miles if i just clamped it to the cover.. any thoughts?
