TPI Air box vs Other intake config.....

I have a custom 4" intake that just sits in the engine bay, now the question is, how much will the TPI box with a "RAMAIR" kit restrict the LS1 motor from making power? Trying to find the best set up that can get the most cold air.

Re: TPI Air box vs Other intake config.....

The TPI induction setup will flow like half the amount of air that your 4" setup flows. If you want cold air, cut the sheet metal out under your filter and route the tubing out in front of the tire. That's how mine is run, as well as a number of other people here.
