Question Baker Precision Hose...

How many of you have this as your smooth bellow for your intake lid?

http://www.bakerprecision.com/camaro.htm

are you happy with it? fitment? would you do it again?

I've got the fernco and had to do some custom trimming for it to fit the weird angle...

The SLP is a nice bellows but $60? gimmie a break...

Then there's the stock accordian... probably not much air turbulance created as some would think... but I just aint too crazy about the look of it...

I don't have a tornado... but i do have a thing called the "Motorvator"

it's a throttle body spacer with a corkscrew design in it designed to spin the air as it goes into the intake manifold and supposedly atomizes it better... i'll be selling it along with my TSP lid when I get my new lid,filter, bellow setup...
