Air Dam

Anyone know how much a NEW air dam would cost for a '91 RS? If so, where can I get one? Thanks.

Look on ebay. Ther is a guy that sells 'em 3 at a time. They are listed as 83-90 Trans Am Deflector Kit, but all you need is the center section. Trust me it works for a Camaro just fine. For that matter, it rocks on a Firebird.

I got mine from the dealer for $35.00. Works great if the wife stops running it into parking bumpers.

Yeah, you're best bet is the guy GTA-SPD mentioned. Here's his phone number so you can save yourself the time on EBAY: 305-769-0985. This guy is unbelievably nice and knowledgeable and will get you set up and should give you all the information and ship times over the phone. ALl you need to know is the year of your car and he'll take care of the rest for you.

Probably a little late but here's the part number 14083929 and it's only $15 from gmpartsdirect.com plus the shipping charge. So ~$25.

I cut my air dam almost in half. It dosen't hit the ground any more and it still cools like mad. It dropped the temp by like 30 or 40 degrees.

Did any one read the Q&A in Chevy High Performance about the air dam? Supposedly, a low pressure zone is created below the nose of the car and if you don't have the air dam it allows hot air from the engine compartment swirl back in front of the radiator.

I have a camaro and I have been thinking of getting a tpi airbox that goes above the radiator to capture the cold air that comes in and shoot it right at the air cleaner. I suppose I could also get a box for the air cleaner and put a hose between like the tpi set up.

That would really make a difference once the temp drops to about o degress and I run in the twelves. Joking.

Maybee that's what nitrous is for.
