Those mods are nothing like the carby slider, which was a fix for a poor design of the throttle mechanisms and the shape of the carburetor. Fuel injection and plenum is a far superior design.
From the throttle body back, the size of the plenum correlates to the air needs of the engine and the size of the valves, etc. It's all been calculated, there's nothing but detriment when it's been ****ed with as it throws off the proportions of everything else. The only things that are good for the intake are 1. forcing more air in, 2. getting colder air in, 3. allowing the engine to breathe through a less restrictive filter. -------------------- Mike W
