EEither or. Tpi air breather is used on some lsx swaps I've seen. Can't see why not it wont with a lt1. Or you can make your own custom cai

Real cold air? Meaning fender intake? Or just the bat/canister tray intake?

Thats my setup. Trickflow Ceramic Elbow > Maf> Ebay piece.

No idea on intake temps but if its too high I plan to continue it to the fender for real cold air but in 3.5 all the way.
