Power increase with LT1 intake
What kind of power gains can be expected by adding an LT1 intake (and correct cam) to my mostly stock 1987 L98?

In my opinion you would be better off doing the exhaust system first. You will bee a lot more gains. You will need a good flowing exhaust system to see any good gains from the intake side of things. Allen

Give me a few weeks, and I will have fresh numbers of what my setup now (IN THE SIG, w/ stock intake on it) will do w/ the TPI setup, and then hopefully the next weekend dyno on the same dyno w/ the LT1 intake w/ same TB and see what the numbers are. Nothing will be changed except the intake and the tuning. Same TB, same exhaust etc...
That is the plan at least... I will post definate numbers once I get it all straightened out...
