The best I can tell you is that they are as restrictive as they look. Honestly I dont think shaving them down is worth the time for what you are going to get out of it. But if you really have a lot of time on your hands and nothing to do then go for it. Hope you're happy with the end result.Shawn<br />2002 Silver W68 Firebird -

I noticed a small gain in top end when I did it, very small, but I could tell a tad of a difference. It only took me like 30 minutes to do, I just grabbed each of the ribs with pliers and they snapped right out. I did it to hold me over till I have more cash for a whisper, but I doubt it'll be much different between the whisper and !bafflesAIM: Alientr8tr<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/583450\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Camaro 3.8L</a><br />Flowmaster 80-series, !FRA, Eibach Springs, KYB AGX, SLP sway bars, 3.42/LSD, Wings West kit, Z06 Motorsports, Silverstone Metallic paint<br /><a href=\"http://www.shift5.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Shift 5</a> - My BandComment

I hear the best gains on lids is from the making the outlet bigger...
I bought a used one and going to play with it... I think it will be a JB weld thing [img]smile.gif[/img]Comment

yeah, I just did that mod this weekend cause I was bored. Easy to do, but I honestly dought it will do as much as an after market lid. Like MustangEater8251 said, the bigger gains of aftermarket lids come from the bigger outlet that goes to the TB. The stock outlet is friggen tiny. Oh well, I dont have money for a new lid so I've done the cheep/free intake mods.98 White T-Top Firebird<br />w/ the crome 5 star rims<br />FRA, Smoothed stock lid,<br />Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111</a>Comment
