This is probably a dumb question but I'm a humble guy....flashing the Bad Boyz ROM w/o it's (O.M.J's)firmware would not give me the Mods but only the OS and custom Kernel?

What mods are you looking for? Unless the mod is a special splash screen,or a special bootloader or special recovery,then no,you don't need the firmware.

Any tweeks,extra menus,or other mods to the user interface,including boot and power down animations,and the kernel,are applied simply by flashing the rom. If you took sprints 4.4 update you are allready on the newest sprint firmware.

You don't need to flash firmware to run the rom,and you are unable to flash firmware anyway. While s on,you can only flash: boot(kernel),system,and recovery.

I have seen devs include options that aren't part of the main rom,for example a dark theme,or particular set of icons. These options will simply be flashed in recovery at some point after the rom. In this case,the zips are modifications to the rom,and are not firmware.
