You have to use some variation of the same system that was used in the Vette, which is a little tube that goes to the exh man. IIRC, it's available as a kit, as some kind of ZZ4 "accessory" (since those are the same heads as a ZZ4)

I might be wrong but that kit is for the vette and Vortec tpi intakes and needs to be plumbed into the rear of the intake back by the distributor....which a f-body intake doesnt have that hole.

I think you're right. You'd have to use the Vette intake to use the kit. But don't take my word for it, give them a call.
