Hmmm really interested in this intake. I want to do a little more research first. I see a lot of you are from the midwest. I'm in Glendale Heights. Does speedinc carry these in stock or are they all made to order?

Finally got around to installing my non-a/c kit today. its been sitting in my room for a couple of months now begging to get installed. Really nice piece and only took about an hour to install. Thanks Chris and Larry. Larry I'll be in touch soon to strap my ride to the rollers for a touch up tune.

I have the non-ac version on my car, but can't really say if it helped. Ya'll can be the judge (based on 1/4 mph):
Before: ssra, 48 deg, -660DA, 3.73 gear, pro edge 4000, stock wheels: 118.8 mph
After: chrs1313, 66 deg, +1149DA, BACK to 3.23 gear, yank ss4000, bogart wheels: 117.1 mph
I'll go back to the track when cooler weather arrives (Oct, Nov)

yeah going from an slp version to the ac version will not be much of a gain...probably around 5 rwhp...you would be better off doing like you said and trying to extend it...

I;m sort of curious...has anyone gone from a ram-air hood setup (functional) to this setup and compared track times? I've got an unbaffled WS.9 hood and the WS.6 lower airbox, so I'm getting some "ram air" effect (although due to the aerodynamics of the car, probably not a huge amount), but I was thinking about picking one of the AC-compatible kits up, primarily because it seems like it would have a more positive forced-air effect from the location of the intake duct.

I've been thinking about this ram air for a while...but what does removing the A/C call for? Is it complicated and is there a write-up? I've thought about getting rid of it just for the weight reduction. Would be killing two birds with one stone if i get this kit.
