FREE MOD: Throttle Body Screen Removal
The stock Throttle Body can be restrictive even on a stock engine. The factory installs a screen in the inlet of the Throttle Body to straighten the air as it travels into the MAF sensor. This provides a smoother idle and more consistent fuel delivery. For Maximum performance this screen is disruption in the airflow that can be removed with little or *no adverse effects. On the flow bench we have realized a 10-15% increase in airflow by removing the screen.

Begin by using two sharp objects like screws to pinch the retaining C clip together. Pull towards you for removal. Insert a small object like a screw or flat head screw driver into the edge of the screen and pry it out being careful not to damage it.

* In 97 and 98 GM incorporated the MAF channel into the TB itself. On these cars we have noticed that some of them will idle rough without the screen in the throttle body. If you experience this, simply replace your screen.

FREE MOD: THROTTLE BODY AIR FLOW
The stock gasket between the supercharger and the throttle body is made
conservatively from the factory to seal properly on every car.

The problem with this is that you get an ever so slight overhang of the gasket into the airflow path.

To fix this simply remove your Throttle Body; being careful enough to reuse the old gasket or better yet buy a new one. With the Throttle Body off of the car install the gasket onto the studs sticking out of the Super Charger. Then with a razor or trim knife trim the gasket material that overhangs the Super Charge inlet.

Carefully put the Throttle Body back on the engine.

The factory does a poor job of grounding the battery to the chasis. By fixing this you can increase the performance of your electrical system.
Remove the ground wire from the battery to the chasis using a 10mm socket.

Use a Dremel or similar tool to sand the paint off of the surface below the ground ring.

Sand the contact side of the copper ground ring.

Reinstall and coat the area with RTV, Paint or something else to prevent rusting and oxidation.

There are also 2 other places to clean the GND'S one is on the ignition module and the other is located on the bellhousing.
