Quoting liloldchevyvan quick question then...cutting holes and opening up airbox...good or bad idea??? get a k&n airfilter if you're going to cut open the airbox, but wait till you have a race ecm or remapped your current one. more air needs more fuel! Quoting liloldchevyvan oh, and bumped into a guy who wired his exhaust valve open...is that stupid also??? he just killed his low-end power. the valve is there to create more backpressure at low rpm's.

Everytime you do a mod the ECM needs to re-learn.  If it was a short ride there probably wasnt enough time for the ECM to recalibrate itself , not to mention get to the proper operating temperature.  If you can, jump on the expressway/highway for a good 15 minutes or so at a constant speed ( this works the best for me ).  The ECM is supposed to go into "closed loop" after riding 10min or so under 3k RPM, almost impossible to do in my book, so the expressway works fine for me

Sounds like this could be a wire pinched or rubbed through somewhere, maybe?

I'm on the other 31 that I know, in Kentucky. But I've been on the 31 you're talking about, I spent some years in South Carolina
