Default Need intake advice

Hello I have and LS dropout from a 1999 firebird here is a VIN from this Trans Am: 2G2FV22G0X2229700

I pretty much got everything purchased for the swap (I am swapping it in to a 92 camaro)

And now I need an intake - the problem is I dont know what would be a better fit for this engine - the throttle body (I measured) is 100mm.

Which intake setup would work for me?
I found a couple that I think should fit
Number 1
or
number 2

maybe there are other options?

like a couple of silicone elbows + a pipe and a filter? What diameter then and what kind of filter?

Looking for a best choice.


Thanks!

If this is a dropout stock engine,,, the throttle body should measure out at around 78mm not 100.

You probably measured the outside diameter, which is roughly the same for a number of LS throttle bodies. For example the OEM 78mm LS6 throttle body as the same outside diameter of the OEM 90mm LS2 throttle body.

Yes I do measure the outside diameter - since the piping will hug the outside diameter. So I just want to make sure which intake setup will fit. Are all of the MAF outside diameters the same as well?

If so then ether kit will work - right?
