This seriousley pisses me off. I have a v6 and to find out someone is lucky enough to have an ls1 and is destroying the **** out of it pisses me off. I take extreme care of my car and ive never even put a used part on my car(not bad at all im just saying) I used a whisper lid, slp cai and a k&n filter. Just because its free doesnt mean you put it on the car.
It pisses me off you have an ls1 and are modding it/treating it liek a ******* honda when i could have that ls1 and actually take care of it

Knowledge is a beautiful thing. There is none in the OP.
Your tranny's gona grenade. Maybe not today but..
If I had done that mod to my 2000 my wife would have had me in a straitjacket. Even most women know better.
To each his own but really...

Why don't we cut him a break... I have thought about that type of CAI myself, I think he may have had the right idea, just his execution was a little sloppy. Props to ya man for DIY, but as you will find out "the devil is in the details"

Come on guys dont bash this guy just bc he put a non effective CAI on his car!!! Let him figure it out on his own, after he hydrolocks it of course.
So i guess when it comes time for an oil change you will probably go to the junk yard and look for the lowest mile car to take the oil out of??
Ok this thread is seriously starting to crack me up. Oh i think i saw a honda over here Bama in the junk yard with a big pipe and it was wrecked. Maybe you can make some type of air duct out of it.

A buddy of mine had a V6 camaro with that same intake, but it was further up towards the throttle body. He hit a small puddle when it wasn't even raining hard, and he was probably going 30 mph. His car died and it hasn't run the same since. Its not locked but it smokes and rattles. Free now will end up costing you a lot more in the long run. You would be smart to spend the little money for a new lid and small upgrades now, instead of a new motor later. Just my opinion. Plus it looks like complete A$$.
Friends don't let friends turn LS1s into hondas....

Woohoo!
Did any of you miss this??? 10's??? you think you need this type of intake to run 10's??? there are people here using the a lid and a paper air filter and running that...
I have personally done back to back to back testing on my friends and neighbors DynaPack Dyno system... using a paper filter.. a K&N filter.. and NO FILTER AT ALL.. no filter yeilded 2hp over the paper filter.. K&N yeilded 1hp over the paper filter (using a Granatelli Lid, dyno'd all same day within 20min of each other..)
So dont think that this air intake is awesome and getting you 10-15hp.. you are gravely mistaken if so..

I love being cool! I love my CAI!
It rained really hard here today, so I said what the hell, let me take my camary-o out for a spin and hydrolocker up!
So in the pouring rain, really can't see ANYTHING, I drove, and drove......and drove...........and drove........drove fast.......drove slow.......idled.......and damn, nothing. Just like the LT-1 that I had before with the Moroso CAI.
Of course it was hell driving in the rain cause my tanny shifts so hard and can't see
, so here we go.... brrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm, (shift) get's sideways and rpms fly up to 5000, so of course I have to get out of it, it gets traction, then WOT! Brrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm , and the same situation during the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts.
Now, there was a pond that I passed, and was tempted to drive her in there, but I figured nah, I'll let her live until we put nitrous on it.
Anyways.......
I got the Y pipe fabed up, but of course that's wrong too cause I didn't buy the Mandrel bends from the supporting vendor that "EVERYONE ELSE" buy's theirs from. I probably got the "cheaper" kind, since it was the cheap kind that came off of E-BAY.
I put the wideband in the exhaust tube after the 2 banks come together, right where the rear seats are. For some reason, I can do that since the CATS are gone, but anyway.....the LM-1 is reading very lean on open loop AFR, but that would have nothing to do with the efficiency of the set-up that I have put on the car. The stock stuff was much better.
I checked the WOT AFR on the car, and it is a rich 10.5, so I'm gonna put her in speed density mode and trim the VE tables to get the cells below 4000 in the 14.7 AFR range. I'm gonna keep her just a tad rich to make sure she pulls a small amount of fuel out of the LTFT's, so she doesn't add more fuel to the PE or WOT tables other than the mutipliers.
Once we get those dialed in, I'll plug in the MAF back in, then calibrate the MAF to the VE tables, then begin tuning the WOT AFR.
BTW......The new to me, rusted, used, free flowmaster sound like dookie also.

Has the car ever been tuned before? If not there must be a reason it's running so rich with a stock tune. I think you should troubleshoot that first before you start tuning.

Maybe you should go back and re-read some of the stuff you typed. AND, AND, AND...did you say you are hoping to make it into the 10's with that CAI , some tunning, and some exhaust work...with the way that thing looks you'de be lucky to make it to the track. What you might want to invest in is some scheduled maintaince. Being a cop car I doubt it got very many oil changes. Just my opinions....as you so eligantly put it. But by cutting that radiator support I think you really weakened the sctructural integrity of that car....DON'T HIT ANYTHING!
Carry on, and a little less bashing.

This is what a real CAI looks like 
Custom 4" by me
And no its not a daily driver and I don't usually try to drive it in the rain (over 500RWHP) but I have driven it in the rain with no issues.
