I have an lt1 firebird and the bellow connecting from the mass air flow sensor to the throttle body tore where it connects to the throttle body.now its not all that large but enough to leak plenty of unfiltered air into the engine. My question is exactly how quickly can this ruin the motor... I know its been torn this much for the last maybe 250 miles since I took it off and it was already torn but I dont know if it was leaking since you can tighten the clamps down on it. Think its safe to drive for a couple more weeks till I get my ram air which will replace it? Figure this is the most appropriate place to post this since it concerns air... ::shrugs::....help
