Just scored my 4th Third Gen...happy to be back.

Just scored this 91' Z28 with 53K original miles on it for $10.8K. Are there any new intakes available that fit under the stock hood....just looking for more performance between 4500-6K rpms. Seems like the FIRST system is the best candidate but I've been away from TPI for 6-7 years.

Re: Just scored my 4th Third Gen...happy to be back.

RS? So someone cloned a Z28 on an RS? Or it's a B4C with Z28 badging?

My gut reaction would be to leave it alone, car is fine. It's TPI, it's not like there's 100hp just waiting to be unlocked without hacking it all up. Car looks too nice to jack up trying to go faster.

I agree with Drew and it looks like an authentic Z/28 to me....from the pics anyway

LOL thanks Z28, I was also looking at an RS before buying this car.

That is sharp, seen a couple lo mi 3rd gens on CL in socal lately
So hard to tell a clone anymore I sure cant..hope to find an original even if its early.

Like the FIRST, if you are doing head/cam mods it will surely help. If all else is stock dont bother, just port the stock base if it bugs you wait for a score on some ASM Accel etc.
May take patience as some want a fortune and your first born for old parts.

Very n ice find. Looks to be in great shape and if she runs as good as she looks I would just drive it and enjoy it! White with red int, that really does look sharp.
