nope, thats why they created a different intake for the brids. the hood slopes down to much.

 

what could i do without spending the big bucks to make the intake better??? dont have tons of money just bought a t56..YAY

 

not to sound like a broken record, but try to do a search cause there are a lot of threads about cold air intakes made for birds here. Ill post a few later. And welcome to the site!

 

Dont have money yet doing a T-56 swap?? Anyways, theres tons of free mods u can do on the TPI to help it out, not just CAI. It'l help getta up and moving a little quicker. Just do a search.

 

Here are some threads about CAI's.

I just ripped out the canister thingy and used a small piece of 45* pvc and put a huge cone filter on the end of the stock tubing.

I then fabricated a plastic heat shield and it keeps the heat from the engine and radiator from the cone filter..this is a noticable difference on both the top end and throttle response.

The biggest cost is the filter $50. The plastic heat shield is Polyproplyene 5 PP 5..used in some garbage cans ($3.99 office store). This is the same material used to make the case for car batteries.. has great chem resistance and is heat resistant with 180* continous service temp...

It doesn't look too bad and it was cheap...eventually I wanna replace the stock tubing with some aluminum..but my mock ups kept hitting the hood...

HTH

 

now here's a question....would the camaro tpi box fit on a firebird with a Ram-Air 1 hood (ASCD) ? Would it provide enough clearance?
