- Talk about Bullshit, Popular Mechanics??, The amount of backpressure
- directly influnces the amount air flow through an engine, and therefore
- through the main air flow sensor. The ability of a sensor to accomodate
- for changes (increases) in flow will vary from one unit to another. The
- CorveZR-1 motor was built for high performance from the outsettset and
- considerations have probably already been made by the factorfor future
- H.P. increases via increased flow.
- It would probably be wise to contact a car club regarding your
- particular car to see they know any specifics before you mess with it.
