Will this intake work?
Been doing some research and came across a new intake from Holley that I think could help me bring some new life to my old and tired 2.8. Now I know allot of you dont care for the 2.8's but I'm simply just playing with ideas. So here are my questions:
1) will this intake work with my 2.8?
2) will it require any mods to make it work if it wont work as a bolt on?
3) would there be any significant increase in throttle response and/or HP if this intake would work?
Keep in mind that the 2.8 I currently have is completely stock and has high mileage. Thanks in advance.

Must be the wrong link, that intake is for a V8, while your 2.8 is just a weak V6. The only aftermarket intake is the Truleo. For more info, read up on Pennock's Fiero Forum.
If you want the most from a 2.8, then swap the 3.4 from a '94 or '95 camaro.

OK, I feel like an idiot now, I didnt notice that I was looking at V8 intakes. Sorry for waisting anyones time. I assume your talking about the intake from a 3.4? That's easy enough, ebay has several for around $60. The same questions apply. Thanks.

No, you can't use the 3.4 intake. You can put the 3.4 engine under your stock 2.8 intake or under the Truleo intake.

Also, Smokey Yunick himself declared the 2.8 intake to be "a good design, not a restriction". The only way to improve on it is Extrude-Hone, and that's pointless unless you're putting it on the 3.4
