    NOS parts?

    northstar beats cobra?

    I see that the new Cadillac XLR will pull 330 hp out of a naturally aspirated 4.6 Northstar v-8. (August Motor Trend).

The Chevy guys routinely remove their MAF honeycombs (true flow straighteners) with good results. Have any of you guys...

    silver 03 available

    I was informed today by sales rep Tom Bona of Springhill Ford in West Dundee,IL (847)551-3300 that they have a satin silver 03 Cobra coupe on its way which is not spoken for. The original buyer bought a black 03 coupe which was already in stock. I don't have price info.

    MAF screen

    Question for you V-6 SHO experts. Is there any downside to removing the wire screen in the factory MAF sensor? The car seems to run better without it. It's a stock 94 MTX with a superchip.
