How about this for induction?
I was at a speed shop and they had a LS1 on an engine stand that was for sale, and for a industion/filter setup they just had a K&N cone on the end of the MAF.... How practical/effective would this?
IT seems like it could work fairly well i dont know about heat soak though. My friend took my blackwing lid so im in the market for a new lid and just the filter idea seems like it would work pretty good
anyone feel free to chime in
thanks

You would have to cutup the lower airbox to get it to fix. Do I search here. Someone a while ago used two cone filters and some pcv pipe but had to cut out a part of the lower airbox.

A filter is pretty mush a filter as long as it flows suffiecently and is located suitable.
K&N offer an induction kit as pictured above, Volant offer something similar. They are pricey, way too pricey IMO. You could make up a kit yourself if you wanted for far less $$$$
However they don't perform any better than a lid and paper OEM filter do.
Cool air is good for performance so if you lcan have air ducted to the filter from outside it is good, a cone filter will probably make it near impossibly to do without hassle.
Paper filter, lid, FTRA is all you need (stock MAF also unless you go SD tune) and stock bellows. They all work and will produce the same HP or more HP than setups costing 3 or 4 times the amount.

i would advise you not to run what you saw at the shop. reason i say this is because MANY guys run that on their speed density (no maf, so the filter is directly on the tb) L98 3rd gens. in fact my old trans am was like that when i first got it. noticed a little bit better gas mileage and response when i made my own cai that got the car some cooler air. mounting it like the shop had it in a 4th gen will just get you hot air from right behind the radiator.

i know the k&n drop in filter for the lids work better than stock, when we dyno'ed i let my buddy use mine-had about 8k miles on it and he had a 2 week old paper filter and saw a solid 6rwhp/4rwtq gain on his car which is basically stock minus the lid and cutout...

If the K&N kit actually had tons of gains over a lid setup, people would run them all over the place. The fact is that a lid and stock (or K&N) filter is offering so little restriction, that people with 550rwhp strokers still run them with no worries.

Well, I went from a Whisper Lid to a FIPK and did notice it pulled alot better but only at really high RPMs... I cut out a big portion of the bottom plate they give ya w/ it to mount it on and ripped off the stupid plastic shrouds underneith the car to bring in alot more air... Seemed to help. Just my $.02.
