tpi snorkel alternatives.

what can i do to get the tpi intake to perform better? i like the stock style intake however theres not crap for flow. exspecialy on my lt1. as soon as i put the intake on it it runs rich. filters arent clogged i think theres just too much restriction. Anyway to maybee mod he inlet to make it 3''? i think thats the biggest drawback. also is there an aftermarket alternative? (same style not cia style)

You could put a cone filter on, but that air is HOT. I would suggest bending your own Intake pipe like many have done on Firebirds on this forum.

im trying to keep the stock style that goes up and over the radiator. otherwise i would do a cia. Most likely im probraly gonna end up doing that unless that is i find away to make my own fiberglass molded lid or something but thats hightly doubtful
