Just got it back...this should flow some Air

 

 

Lookin good :good job:

 

Rich people stuff it looks nice

 

Wow!
Look at that really rare under hood light!
And that Firehawk cross support!

Really though, looks great!

George

 

So, Don, what would it take to get or make one of those for my 383 Superram setup?

Pretty please?

 

Wow, that looks great, Don!

 

Rumor control has it that is worth around 16 horsepower over the stock Trans Am unit.

Nice catch on the under hood light for a Trans Am. As I understand it there are very very few with that light. Allen

 

Thanks!

George, you forgot to mention the 120 amp B4C Alternator

 

Hi Don!
You're right! I forgot that!
And that wonderbra on the bottom of the car too!:^)
Oops, I meant the wonderbar!

George

 

First you'd have to bring the car to CA.

 

You got that right.

Jerry

 

lookin real fly dyno don

He also forgot to mention the clean radiator resouver(sp) tank,which is a rarity in its own..lol

 

Now if I could just get one made that would actually work on a serpentine setup Camaro with the battery still in it's stock location. Otherwise it's having the tube riding on the hot water return tube or relocate the battery to get a firechicken style one

 

What's this? A fancy chrome part on Don's car? Is there some natural disaster about to occur? I thought you were all about "get the cheapest thing that gets the job done"?

Looks good Don!

 

Bret:


That's thermal coating ....and I think it will get the job done.
And no...my reasoning is...why dump a lot of cash on feel good things. When "one" has the cash "one" should put it where it will do the most good.

Or as the Grump once said "get all the variables under control"

So with that said, I think you must have misunderstood my reasoning.

 

After playing with the last setup, it was found to be still too restrictive. So he bent up some 3 1/2" pipe, had it coated, and installed it. Hopefully now the restriction is gone.

You Pontiac guys got screwed on your intake.

 

Kevin,
My Pontiac intake works just fine!

George

 

Suction is a good thing

 

Looks good Just like mine

 

Look at this one.

 

Hi Vicent

That one looks like an oval to 3.5 inch. Need to find out where he got the piece next to the throttle body. What Don needs to do is get a mandrel made up that spreads the 3.5" tubing to the shape of the throttle body oval. Just money Don.

There are no restrictions in his air intake system. One thing I would do if I had his car is box in the airfilter so that it can't draw hot air from the engine bay. Cold air only. Allen

 

And then offer them as kits to other poor Pontiac souls liek myself....

 

You going to sell that Don? We are going to switch my buddy over to TPI from TBI here in the next few weeks and that would be nice in there at the same time.

 

I hadn't thought about it.....I made it up from pieces I had laying around. I'll check on what it would take and go from there.

 

Yeah let me know would be nice. It looks one piece?

 

That thing looks like it needs a Turbo on the other end of it.

Jerry

 

Please do! I'd love to have one. Already got the LT1 elbow....

 

Okay, I am planning on starting to build my own CAI and would it be better to have the filer, K&N of course, located up where the factory location is at or cut a hole and mount it under where the factory one goes? I have seen pics of it done both ways. Just wanting to know which would be better for more HP gain? I have an 89 Firebird Formula 350 with MAF incase you are wondering.

 

If you isolate the filter from the underhood heat, putting it in the stock location with an intake at the bottom with some baffelling to keep rain from soaking your air filter is probably a better choice for a daily driver. Don's system is designed to be changed over for use at the track, but he puts the filter in the stock location on the street to keep water out of the intake.
