Grill act as air restriction?
Well, I went for a ride with the San Diego crew today (both of us). I have taken my grill off to have the chrome portion painted and didn't feel like putting the black ribs back on, which is what I usually do. The weather was typical. My gas was the same as ever. BUT, the beast felt a little more powerful today. I even caught the ESP triangle flashing a few times when I punched it at 60-70mph to pass on single lane straights.
Just curious if anyone else has ever noticed this? It isn't a mod thought, but it makes me wonder how much potential there is in openning up the intake air or increasing boost (puuley, etc).
