That's besides the point though, it's not as free flowing to be that beneficial.

And I could remember way back when, people were talking about the Filter on the ZPI kits being to long after the MAF sensor, so people were cutting the piping shorter as it worked better for tuning and getting better results. Unless you switch to a blow through type setup, I wonder how all the piping after your MAF is actually affecting your performance.

is that the greddy map from the tech section? i tried that too and it didnt work very well.. the map i used was from dezod too, it ran 11.5-11.6 at wot but i didnt try to go over 5,500 rpms.. but you should be fine as long as you stay out of boost and also listen for knocks and watch your afrs

^^ i suggested to keep out of boost, but still listen for knocks... if he is street tuning, yeah that is hard to do because of the wg and exhaust sound+ wind+ engine and those

a car could knock regardless of manifold pressure.. but usually it happens and more destructive on high load.. too much ignition timing or too much heat will cause it to knock
