Re: TPI makeover: WARNING Pic heavy!!

Hi. Nice build. Mine is similar, but I am using a Megasquirt ECU and Ford EDIS ignition instead of GM stuff. I was wondering why you didn't just use Firebird parts for the air intake?

Re: FS: 1991 RS 3.1L air box w/ K&N filter and 30mm sway bar

Received the filter today - surprised at how quick. It is in great shape. I would believe it's brand new if it weren't squished a little from being in the canister. Thanks.

Re: FS: 1991 RS 3.1L air box w/ K&N filter and 30mm sway bar

First of all, please forgive my ignorance. Is this the same canister and filter that appeared on the late 80's TPI V-8 firebirds? $15 + shipping for just the filter?
