Need some help here...

I was told that the intakes were made a little bit differently between the Camaro and the GTA in '87 which creates a power difference between the two. Is this correct and if so what are the differences in the intakes? Thanks.

The TPI Camaros have a better intake design and get air better.

Are you talking about the bellows or the actual aluminum intake? Only the intake bellows make a difference.

Just the bellows.. The aluminum parts are exactly the same.
