Put some more info in your sig so we can help you better.

Do a search on "cold air intake" and you should find everything you need.

Vettes got them in 92, 91 was still L98s. Take the F Body and subtract a year, then you've got the Vette. TPI, LT1, PCM heh


My car came with a POS CAI from your local parts store (I call it the Ricer CAI, but same thing that's on eBay) and it is just a filter off the plumbing. It doesn't sit where the stock box did, which is why I plan on making a totally custom CAI sometime down the road to replace this POS.
