i was just wondering abotu teh pro's and cons of removing all you remissions stuff, im not even sure what it all consists of. i have just heard of people sayign they removed it and stuff.. thnx alot.

 

The only pro I can think of is if you live where emissions isn't a concern and you are having lots of problems with vacuum leaks.

Other than that, usually you introduce all sorts of new problems....

 

I don't know Peejay.... removing that 1-2 pounds of plastic must give you at least another 15 HP, not to mention the 50+HP that comes from removing the vaccum stuff and eliminating all the turbulance in the intake manifold..

 

riiiiiiiight.

 

Pros: Less weight (remove the rats nest plus the air pump, plus ACV, cleaner engine compartment. More HP after removing the cat (not needed)

Cons: Crappy gas mileage, smelly exhaust, more possibility of vacuum leaks and possible condensation in the oil filler tube.

 

thnx :] adn now its deffinatly on my toi do list i could really use and extra 50 hoursepwower and ithink my intake manifold is too turbulent itmake this whooshign noise so hopefully that should help mebbe then if thats it ill get 60-90 extra on top of that! plus the wieght factoir i cant wait guys thanks alot!!!!!!

 

if it's working, leave it alone.
if it isn't working, take it off.

simple as that... it can cause a lot of problems (just ask me how I know), and doesn't really have any significant impact on the car's performance. The main reason I took mine off is because the wiring harness from my '79 didn't fit any of the emmisions control for my '83 engine. Took it all off, capped everything, and it works... only problem now is that she doesn't like starting when she's hot.
