My Latest mod - 30+HP, $29.95
I just installed my rear wiper delete plug. Gave me at least another 30HP. I can really feel it. Throttle response is so much better. Must be the increased laminar airflow into the intake without the wiper causing air turbulence.
Thanks Eric for another performance boosting mod.

I don't have a rear window wiper, if I drilled a hole on the rear deck lid and put a wiper plug in it, do you think I would get 30+ more HP too?

Only if you use Eric's plug. Hours of wind tunnel testing have perfected the laminar flow if air into the intake.

My only concern is that the additional 30 HP will be from the left bank of the engine, thereby causing an imbalance in power output. I have decided to drill an extra hole on the right side of the rear deck lid and add another wiper plug there too. Then I'll be up to 380 "balanced" HP, just 1 HP shy of the X-51 package, but at a cost of only $59.90. 
Eric - please make sure you send me a RIGHT SIDE wiper plug, since I already have the left side plug.
