SLP Cold Air Induction
I've always heard a lot of talk about SLP's cold air induction kit. I was wondering if it is worth the price and fi you can install it while still using MAF or do you have to switch to MAP. Also do you have to do anything with the computer to run this setup?

Ok I have also come up with this, buying tubing and making my own. I plan to get an 88 GM TPI Intake Elbow, a 12'' Alum Tubing Elbow 3'', a 90 degreee alum tubing elbow 3''. However If I use this setup, I will have to relocate the MAF Sensor. Does anyone know where I can relocate this sensor and what I would have to do to relocate it.

simply lengthen the wires. - try to keep it in a straight section, not immediately after a turn. placing it right after a turn can screw w/ the reading. also, DO NOT polish the aluminim unless you want to loose power. personally, if I were to use metal tubing of any sort, I'd wrap it w/ header tape or some other heat wrap...you wouldn't believe how hot those stupid import supposed "cold" air kits get...

I love my SLP. It was easy to install. It says to reroute your charcoal canister.....but i made 3 points tossing that thing in the trash. Easy bolt on. Comes with a new K&N filter.
Comes complete. Its pretty sharp. I just plugged the lines for teh Charcoal canister and taped up the wires good and called it a day. Rev that baby up....you can really hear that air flow!

Im trying to think how many lined ther were going in there. I think there was 3. Not 100% sure. A vacuume line and a feed and return line. The vacuume line I capped off and the feed lined I hooked together.
The SLP is 100 times better then the small can it tryed to get air from.
