That looks like the one that was in Super Chevy. Some guy had an IROC with that same air box. Looks good.

Thanks all,

Good eye hotz, the guy that made the air box, is the same guy whos car was on the cover of super chevy (may2001). though there are a couple differences, my box was upgraded to 4" discharge to the blower, and also it is alittle recessed to to sit lower to allow for room under my hood.

Stocroc,
yes i'm hoping for a very slight performance increase, because i am no longer drawing hot air from the headers like with the original ATI filter placement. Lower intake temps=More power!

Since it's been snowing here in michigan most of the day, i drove the car straight home and put it in the garage, the first nice day that we have i'll get some good pics and post'em.

but here's alittle taste for ya.

Guy who put your supercharged sticker together must have had a really shake hand. It's all squinty.

It looks good though.

Wow that air box really looks good. Nice to see a nice clean Z. Just don't floor it for the first month or the paint may peel off of the hood I can't wait to get my D1SC and see what supercharging is all about.

You and me both. I just simply must have one. I've just got to, I've got to.

I like the paint too. Fantastic!
