Removed the fog lights!

Hey guys, I just removed the factory fogs on the 92 Z-28. How much difference do you think it makes w/ out them on? Obviously the fogs restricted air flow(not much, I know!) Just think.. the air hitting the fogs first to go around and then into my filters. W/out the fogs the air rushes directly in! I know this is probably minimal, but I want everyone's opinion before I put upgrades on. Thanx guys!

Blasphemy! The stock foglights look GREAT on a Camaro. Why would you need to "upgrade" or remove them for that extra 1 HP (if any). The foglights is what defines the front fascia of a Camaro. Don't **** it up !

Well I think it would give good hp increase. I have ram air behind the foglights, and right now the fogs almost stop the "ram" of it. I mean the fogs are in the way, sure the air will get there, but if they werent in the way, it would get in there quicker.. at the least, you'd get more throttle responce.

My passenger side fog light is broken, then the light went out, so I just took the screw out and dropped it (for now) to allow more air in, not that I noticed a difference, but I'm sure it helped, its physics.

Removing the fog lights for horsepower gain is equal to exercising to lose fat by repeatedly blinking your eyes. Yes, you DO burn calories like that, but really, is it enough to actually go about it that way? LOL.

My fog lights are right up there with my *****. I'd never take 'em off.
