I think the restrictor plates are for keeping the speeds down...could be I'm mixing up this with something else, but the only reason to do that is to chop speed/power.
They made Chrysler do that when they came out with the Hemi's and started killing everyone else on the tracks...nobody could beat them fairly, so they got their 'nads chopped.

excuse me i forgot to mention...."throw extra piece of tubing at garage door in frustration, reattach front bumper, reattach wheel well, reattach tire, torque lugs to improper amount also due to frustration, exit garage, head to where you need to be at 100 mph, have left front wheel fall off due to improper torquing, replace wheel and front bumper due to scrapes, continue on your way...."

Yeah, right.

Show me one person willing to do this every time it rains and I'll show you somebody who just missed the prom. The real solution is to avoid puddles like the plague and never drive fast in the rain.

That's one of the best lines ever...

No, I did not read that article tC_skier and now that I did I see why you said that. You could have informed me about the post like a normal person though. You also could have done without the

and

. Thanks.

There's no maf placement on that second part and it needs a 90 degree turn to match up with the s/c unless you take the front part of the s/c off and then I don't think it's long enough so I don't think it would work although it would look pretty sweet.
