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.
