OK I tried pulling off the hose, and after revving it, like you said, the idle was shit. How can I fix this idling problem, as I really enjoyed the sound of the atmospheric setup?

Alright, well because I am a poor bastard haha.

So how come I noticed a difference in acceleration and top end power running premium gas in my 92 SS?
I believe it was 91 octane, and I dumped several bottles of octane booster in there.
Granted, this was the night before my engine seized due to ALL my oil leaking out at once.

Power difference in octane

So really how much of a power gain can be expected by running higher octane fuel?

Say premium fuel as opposed to regular? 93 octane?

Will the butt dyno notice a difference here?

Octane boosters....is that a big help?

Thanks for any help,
Brad

Loud stock BOV?

So a friend of mine took one hose off of his BOV, and it made it incredibly loud.

Does anyone know what this hose was and where it is located?

well here's one reason....I'm quite inexperienced with awd vehicles lol.

I thought about what I said, and cutting springs does appear to be incredibly dangerous.
Yes, I've heard about the agx struts and H&R springs beign a good combo.
