you can always get a ram air set-up from the Home Depot Racing store

91 Blue RS with ASCD SS hood w/hood pins, Flowmaster 80 series, K&N, Bosch Platinum wires and plugs, rebuilt transmission with shift kit.

Soon to be added:
Z28 spoiler.
New paint.(black with orange stripes)
A 3.4L V6.(WOOHOO!!)

Well if you want to feel a big difference above 2500 take the upper and middle intake off and polish the inside as much as you can. I felt a little pick up before but after that pocket polishing its a kick in the A$$ now.
I have mad pick up in 2nd AND 3rd and a little in 4th even. You just have to keep above the 3500 shifting.
