Re: IROC-Z AIR INTAKE TRANSPLANT TO TRANS-AM
It will clear..... IF you cut the crap out of the bottom of the hood.
Dont do it.
look for and buy a used SLP cold air kit and b happy.
No need to try n reinvent the wheel.

Re: IROC-Z AIR INTAKE TRANSPLANT TO TRANS-AM
Ttop350 is right, it will only clear if you cut off all the supporting braces from the underside of the hood. I bought a camaro airbox like the one you are talking about and tried to make it work, but once I realized I would have to remove the hood braces, I dropped that idea. I was afraid that the hood would tweak and bend over time as its opened and closed without those braces.
Check here, this is what I did, and I posted track results also.
