IF you have a camaro, then i would try to go this route. Takes up less space. If you have a 94-97, it would be a good iidea to get a 95 corvette intake bellow(for the iat sensor and optipark vent). If you have a 93 just get tubing.

Option 2: get a lt1 elbow and get a cheap LT1 cold air intake off of ebay.

Option 3: If you have a 93, just get a filter that connects directly to the throttle body.

Option 4: Get a 3.5" elbow and custom cold air intake. This might work, not sure.

Option 5: Use the ram air box if you have an aftermarket ram air hood

Option 6: something else custom....

Which one do you think would give out the most horsepower and air/fuel ratio's correctly? Here the setup I'm think of a stock top TPI box and the ram air box bottom that hawk sells. And I would have a piece of pipe or rubber connecting to the throttle body to the maf then to a slip hose to the top box. What do you guys think here the link of the
Ram Air Box

Use the one that gives you the least restrictive airflow. Anything that takes air from a big area and then flattens out to almost nothing restricting airflow is going to cut power down.
