    Whisper Lid is on!

    Just intstalled my whisper lid! Install was a piece of cake cuz i used to work on my 97 3.8. Now I just have to buy a different filter. Anyone know where i can get a HOLLEY Powershot filter for that? I keep hearing that the K&N ones have oil in them. Do any part stores carry them?
    Also, instead of using the folded rubber piece from the TB to the lid, cant u just buy a striaght 3'' rubber piece and use that? Just wondering if that would make any difference.

    Also, I need to take the old paint off the lid and re-paint it. I think I'll just paint it black again...the guy i bought it from painted it the color of his car, and on the outside of the lid, the paint started to bubble cuz he didnt use high temp paint...

    Now I just have to put my b&b exhaust on and i'll be happy for a while.

    thunder racing is where i got mine. It uses oil just like the K&N though. I have never had any problems with my filter. Works just as good as K&N maybe if not a little better. Just my opinion though. Anyway good luck.

      I went ahead and got me a K&N filter and the cleaning kit. Since both use oil, i didnt figure one was better than the other.

      I hope this is better over the stock filter.

      See you all soon in the mid 14's.

        the air filter wont do a damn thing other than save you money on replacing the air filter...the lid, a tiny bit of difference...

          There is a difference between the oils. The K&N uses oils that can cause problems with your engine if you over oil it so that it gets sucked in so be very careful not over saturate it. The Holley oil is engine and MAF sensor safe. If you over do it with this oil, it will not affect it adversly. Hope this info helps out.

              I never said I was done modding my car. I havent taken my 01 to the track yet, so how can you tell me what I am going to run. I had a slightly modded 97 and it was mid 15s, and this car definetely will put at least couple cars on it before end of the 1/4. I bet i could run a high 14 second run right now. Anyways...I cant say what times i am running until i goto the track with my 01.
