Yup, it'll fit. Did it not come with instuctions? You have to take the six torx screws out of the tb top cover, then you will see that with the long screw that goes thru the air foil you can put the threaded nut like keeper on. No problem. Put it all back together and take a test drive.

I have yet to see anyone make any HP with one. When accuratedly tested, they show the same. Not all eye candy makes an engine faster
YMMV

TPIS seems to think there's does something.

"After many hours of testing on our Superflow® 300 Flow-bench and the Superflow® 900 Dyno, followed up with comprehensive road testing, we've developed this air foil that will give you better throttle response and more power. This is THE first air foil on the marketand it is still the best. One Fits all GM TPI and LT1's.
11.8 horsepower increase, 36 more CFM. Fits 1985-'97 GM V8 TPI and LT1. Installation time: 10 minutes. Lifetime guarantee. "
