Why does my EVO Almost stall when....
I was at the dragstrip a couple of times. When I was waiting in line, the big, huge muscle cars would pull up beside me. They have those real loud rumbling engines that I could feel in my car...when one would pull beside me(at a standstill) with the rumbling engine...my car would sputter and almost stall 
Any ideas why?

Well this is just a theory but.....
While a bunch of us were meeting with our evos down here in SFLA; one of the guys tapped the top of his airbox and the car almost stalled and died. He did this several time in a row and it dod the same thing everytime.
So maybee the vibrations are somehow messing with the MAS?
Dont know for sure but maybee that and the limited air going through the intake at the sme time has something to do with it?

EDIT: on second thought, then why wouldn't the car stall hitting a bump in the road? if hitting the airbox stalls it, then why wouldnt your car (in neutral, idling, going some speed) almost stall then?

Knock module sensor for sure 
Thats why LT1 owners including me swap it with an LT4 one, it is less sensitive to vibrations and it will not send a false knock (like headers cams and stuff like that) to the ECU.

Apparently, the 1.6 rockers made some excessive noise.
