Camaro TPI air intake with LS1?

Im going to use my original TPI air intake with LS1.
I was just wondering how much of restriction it would be?

I know that it's not a restriction in 300hp engine, but I want to believe that I'm making about 350hp with LS1. Engine is stock -02 with long tubes. No air con, no emission stuff.

It's a big restriction on the LS1, I suspect you will loose 10-15 hp. I guess you will be ok as a temporary intake while saving up or building a nice 3.5 inch cold air intake.

Re: Camaro TPI air intake with LS1?

Im going to use the original TPI intake system for the starters. Looks more like a "stock" engine bay. Easier with the inspection. We have quite strict rules with the inspection in Finland. You could say that the 3rd gen Camaro is illegal with the LS1. Too much power. You cannot have more power than a original engine + 20% more. 240hp + 20% is about 300hp. if I get away with the inspection, then I'm propably going with the K&N GTO kit:
