Default !IAC mod

After doing the IAC removal mod, I noticed a great deal of improvement in the throttle responce and overall power. It wasnt bad once the rewireing was figgured out. All I needed was a KO 12v source to connect the pos to, and grounded the neg. Plugging the hole where the IAC was was easy too. Without the obstruction of airflow, and the computer controlling another variable in the whole engine management senario, it gained a good seat of the pants 10-15 horse. Ill post pics and step by step later.

You haven't really thought this through have you? Let's see what does the IAC do?? It controls your air on idle. Now why in the world would that give you 15hp?


So why did you remove the IAC?

this is almost as bad as the guy that made his car sound like it had a cam by creating a vacum leak with his IAC
