Im using the stock TPI air intake with K&N filters in the Camaro. I tested it in the dyno, with it and with out it, no restriction there. I was little surprised, but happy with it.

Re: LT1 swap Air intake

If you have the TPI intake setup from Camaro, you can keep it. It didn't restrict anything with my LS1. And it was putting 320hp to the wheels in the dyno.
