Default procharger inlet options

My rubber hose and dryer hose are on their last leg and will suck shut in warmer temps if I don't have them ziptied open... I'm looking for some ideas on what you have done. I could always get the plastic one from procharger but want to explore my options. all input is welcomed...

+1 for the truck inlet. i had to do some trimming to get mine to fully seat on the D1SC but it works well. its hard plastic so itll never suck in. unless you can fabricate, just pick one up from bob over at brutespeed. great guy to work with. i think they are $130 minus the filter. Im using a 4"x10" cylindrical filter.

Yeah the truck hat is your best bet unless you move the radiator up.

If the truck hat will fit on the LT cars it's your best bet, I was goin to fab something up myself and ran short with time and said screw it, called bob and got the truck hat haven't looked back since

The updated ProCharger inlet is what I would go with. You'll want to use the largest air filter you can stick in there, which is probably this one. http://shop.brutespeed.com/ATI-AF056...AF056I-009.htm

The air filter is usually the biggest restriction. Bob

Nvm. Is there a new one coming out for the LS or will that one work fine?

This is the revised inlet assembly for the LT1. i have not heard of any updates for the LS1 system from ProCharger. The truck inlet works great if you have a front mount intercooler assembly. Bob
