The stock Throttle Body can be restrictive even on a stock engine. The factory installs a screen in the inlet of the Throttle Body to straighten the air as it travels into the MAF sensor. This provides a smoother idle and more consistent fuel delivery. For Maximum performance this screen is disruption in the airflow that can be removed with little or *no adverse effects. On the flow bench we have realized a 10-15% increase in airflow by removing the screen.
Begin by using two sharp objects like screws to pinch the retaining C clip together. Pull towards you for removal. Insert a small object like a bent paper clip with a hooked end and pull it towards you. * In 97 and 98 GM incorporated the MAF channel into the TB itself. On these cars we have noticed that some of them will idle rough without the screen in the throttle body. If you experience this, simply replace your screen. DISCLAIMER: BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE SCREEN. IT DOESNT SEEM LIKE MUCH, BUT ITS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. Last edited by whitedragon551 : 05-29-2007 at 09:24 AM. |

This is only for 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prixs. Preferably the GT or GTP's since the SE wont see much gain anyways. You can try it and see what happens. If it idles rough or you notice any ill effects put it back in.
