Don't have the whole set-up myself, but install is easy. If cost is an issue you could do free ram air, and buy a lid and a filter for at or a little under $150 and get similar gains.

Install can take up to an hour if your really not sure what your doing....but it's easy enough to do yourself if you know how to use some basic tools...

You will be much better off using the SLP air lid with the FTRA which is a true ram air kit. The SLP system only functions as a cold air kit and the performance gains are not as great.

I had the kit on my old Z/28. It was nice, but I wouldn't do it again. I would take the $300 bucks and just buy the SLP lid (which is a very fine product) for $99, just do the 'free ram air mod', and use the left overs to pick up a nice ported throttle body. I'm not too impressed with after market bellows, and a lot of people have fitment issues with them.

It's cutting a whole in the bottom of your air box assembly to force air in. You have to do basically the same thing anyways if your going to install the air plenum from that kit.


Check this link, click on the install documents to the far left, and it's one of the first links.
