Getting the most out of your Apexi S-AFC= Stock MAF honeycomb removal - Page 13 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

should have soldered the m/f barrel connectors in. That way you can unplug and link the together. wonder if the afc increases timing just inline? I have never been a fan of piggy backing a piggy back!

Can you post the dyno results I am curious as to what the graph for the hp and torque numbers look like? I was thinking of going with the LS1 MAF-T for a while there, thinking the stock MAF was no good.

But where in Philly is there an AW dyno?

Yea. I was really hoping for before/after. It's amazing how people say "this does this and that" without posting the exact results. In this particular case, there's a lot of disrepancy from other members. I hate taking anyone's word on something without getting all the facts that I can and make a good judgement myself from multiple senior members or at least the people I trust.

However, I have a grand I always keep on me if sombody wants to race me on the open road.

I understand. How many times have you been to the track? I go every month and I hope that's not too much. I guess I bought it to enjoy it but I don't want to destroy it.

Also, you always keep $1,000 on you? I wouldn't advertise that considering your in Albany, NY.

Remember, I grew up in that neighborhood too.

Considering you trap 125MPH, there isn't much that's gonna take ya except a "built" car and you aren't gonna run into those on the streets.

So has anybody tried this yet?

I've done it to two customer vehicles, and they are happy as hell!

You missed my post.

I don't keep it on me Shawn. But I'm certainly good for it!

I do keep a .357 on me however. It's legal of course

Since I work on all the drug dealers cars, I'm pretty safe. It's like Mafia protection

I don't blame you for not wanting to drag the car much... It's stupid to beat on the car in that fashion. I won't do it again.....

I would advise you to not drag it anymore.

me being one of them. after we "gutted" the honeycomb, we took it out and had some fun with it. i could actually feel the difference. of course i have no dyno number to support it, but everyone can always feel a difference if its doe right. after tuning the AFC the idle was fine and i noticed some added power down low. for as easy as this mod was, in my opinion it helped. as i said i had no troubles with idle or anything else after tuning.
