The LT1's do not have the same intake setup, and no LS1's do not gain that much power from a lid.

You can put an intake on an LT1, it just isn't the same setup LS1's use. You will also gain power, but it will be more like 5-10.

wait hold on, you have an lt1, and you are doing a ram air hood with an ls1 style lid.

I get it now, yes, you will gain power, but its still just a cai, nothing earthshattering.

You have an LT1 car with a '98 up conversion and are running an LS1 air intake setup with a factory LS1 air lid?

I have exactly the same setup, my car appears to be an '01 T/A. I have the LS1 air intake setup and I run an SLP lid. I do believe you would pick up 10rwhp or so by switching. The stock LS1 lid is very restrictive.
