LT1 guys, what are you using for intake tubing?
I've seen some people use a TPI set up, others some kind of stock LT1 set up. Wouldn't the TPI tubing be a restriction? What are you using? Pics would be great...

Eventually I'll get a K&N setup, but for now I am using the stock TPI tubing, and yes, what a restriction. Its a trans am so it has that plastic box up front....when I rev the motor, I see the thing suck in from the vacume the motor creates! I had to use some 3.5" PVC tubing (With a TON of filing) to make the LT1 MAF fit inline....Oh well, It'll work for now...
