I see this two ways... I think your truck looks much better. But I got a better idea, why dont you sell your truck and put the money to the T5 swap? You will like the manual. I sure know I do!

1992 Camaro RS 3.1L
T5 Manual 5 speed
Open Air Intake
Z-28 Exhaust
8.5mm MSD Ignition wires

HEY! I got it! Go ahead and get the SLP dual intake and then with the money left over get a cam and roller rockers. Good idea??

P.S. and I also thought about the SLP cold air kit and someone who had got it said that it wasnt worth the 200 somethin dollars. If I were you I dont know if I would get it or not. Why dont you try running your own? Ive got some good ideas if you are interested.

Graeme, you can't compare those two! Yours looks like a mean off-road beast, the other one looks like it could be set up for drag racing. That's what I'd do, anyway... lower the front, put slicks on the rear, etc...
