Question, from the new guy... hahaha

All right fellow V6ers...
i have a 92 camaro RS 3.1
It runs great (IMHO) for a V6... but of course I want more...
So I was readin on here and someone "hacked" off the bottom of the air intake box... (or something like that)
mine is completely stock (K&N filter, Flowmaster 80) and i was wonderin if I could drill holes in the little canister that the air filter sits in... and would it really do me any good.... and would it screw up the computer or anything (someone told me it would)
thanks people... keep fryin rice...
hehehe

if you drill holes in the bottom of your air cleaner boxes it does give you better air intake and better horse power. it won't mess up your computer.

ok, i think i can clarify things here:

you have the cylinder filter

thats the one i used to have

what you should do is get the TPI style filter intake

it holds 2 filters and the entire bottom can be cut off for superior air flow!!!!!!!!

the TPI intake was available on 305/350 TPI camaros from 85-92 and 2.8 V6 camaros from 85-89

it looks like a v its cool looking 2

its a real easy swap

the hardest parts are getting a pipe to fit in between where the MAF sensor would normally go and then you just have to splice the IAT sensor wire to a longer length to reach the new sensor location hole on the TPI intake!!!!!!!!!!!hope this clarifys things!!!!!!!!!!!!!
