Mass air K&N Filter Was wondering what air filter you guys are using when clamping directly to the mass air? I have minimal space in my engine compartment, and need something relatively small in diameter & length!

Most people either
A) run aluminum tubing to put the put air cleaner somewhere over near the fender where they can duct cool air to it.
or
B) Use the S&P combined airfilter/MAF unit. I like to call this the S&P HAI (Hot Air Intake).
Pulling hot air from behind the radiator on an LS1 is probably throwing away about 30HP. (using rule of thumb 1% per 10F increase in intake temp).

Oscar, I still think you need to turn the intake around backwards and run ducting through the firewall. It's either that or put the radiator underneath the car--that would be interesting to duct

I know I should make some type of cold air, just thinking of a way to get it started and work the bugs out!

I figured it out, I'm fabricating ducts around the radiator on both sides that will dump cold air into my airbox via flex duct. I'll post it up once I get it past the mockup stage.
My IAT on a 55 degree ambiant day was running in the neighborhood of 175-180 degrees!!! WAY too high. I'm surprised it ran as good as it did for all these miles. A lesson learned, I should have taken my son and his laptop for a ride long ago (he does my tuning), I never knew it was a problem until we saw the real time info flashing across the screen of his laptop.
