Interesting. I'm able to get my idle to cycle starting at -6, and nice and smooth at -3.

before taking out the honeycombs it was +7 or so... weird how much our cars can differ. I did the Erik Gross hotwire mod which is the only reason I would think it might be different... that mod keeps a lower voltage to the fuel pump @ idle.

I paid to have my car dyno tuned... i got 360 awhp @ 12-14psi. It maid more but was to lean & egt's were getting to hot. Anyways if I tried this mod, is there a way to tune it without a dyno. I have an EGT gauge but I have an autometer A/F gauge. (I know rick, i gotta get the dawgs one). Any suggestions?

I am still driving around with my gutted MAF, doing good. Still runs the same as always, and high and low trims are both 102, and 108. Spanked a 5.slow last night, no problems. Still a little lean at the top of 3rd, but thats just because I haven't tuned it yet.

hay guys, im doin the mod right now, but the stupid side honeycombbs dont want to budge!

the bottom came out fine, even the center came out (just wanted 2 check) but the sides don't want to move!

any suggestions?

Drop a little achahol onto the sides from the top. I did that, let it sit for a min, and it helped alot. They are not glued in, its only a sticky rubber substance.

damn finally got them out.... dude, i ASSURE you, it is glue... nothing sticky about it, just pure glue, i got plenty of glue residue left....

i really hope this mod works cuz otherwise i have no way of turning back (broke the 2 honeycombs on the sides)
