A guy told me he had to identical built cars, one was a IROC and the other A Trans am, they both had the differnt intake setup, he said the IROC was alwyas 6/10s faster because of the way the firebirds shady, and small intake route to the passenger side. Does anyone have pics or there own way they made the intake bigger??????? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hey thanks for that it looks really good, but im talkin about a cold air induction, the that comes from the T/B to the top of the air filter canister.

If this works it is a pic of a camero air box on my 88 formula. I plan on mounting some scoops under my bumper wich will force the air up in to the box.

 

I've done the cold air thing and have it posted at

http://www.geocities.com/jonathan_badgett/

the pictures are VERY large and I don't know if anyone can visit it right now since Geocities just sent me an email saying that I've exceeded my monthly bandwith of 3GB. Hope it works for you.

 

Hey where did you gt that pipe at?

 

Thats pretty cool, how hard was it to do? Notice any difference in power?

Jess

 

I just removed the air filter housing and bolted my K&N in with that long bolt that used to hold the housing and connected the plastic tube that comes from the throttle body

 

What Im tryin to get at is, the size of the tube itself, its too small in diameter, I want to increase the size!!!

 

I got the pipe from an exhaust shop. It's the same one used on diesel exhaust. Just welded to gether with a straight piece and painted. It's 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

 

this isn't mine but it's what i'm going to do

The box mounting itself was not that hard. you have to cut the firebird one I was unable to just snage a a camero one there hood latch and spring are a little differant than ours.(If you can get a pic of a camero you would see what I mean) the hard part and the part that really makes it not worth doing is you need to modify the hood and doing this takes a long time because you need to bend in the spots on the hood just above the box without making marks on the out side of the hood. I ended up cutting the sides by the latch and denting them in and finally using fiberglass so it wouldn't look like I just hacked it all up. I really did not notice one bit of hp. but, I guess the camero only has 5hp more. I will have to see what happens when I install some scoops under it. It just shows that the box can fit.

You need to do a search. There have been dozens posted. Do a search with "cold air intake". Pick the one you like.

 

I have an original clean SLP kit with the airbox, ducting with airfoils, clamps and nice k and n filter. also special maf bracket. if you want pics pm me.

 

i commented on this in response to the initial post but holy **** this is an old thread you bumped
