Any idea what kinda gains you saw with the ls1 lid conversion and chris1313 ram air, or what the gains would be over a conventional CAI? I don't think I've seen anybody else run that setup on an lt1. Car looks fantastic.

car has not been to the track or WOT yet to really tell, but if I had to guess going with the Ls1 lid and Chrs11313 ram air 3+ mph. I have changed many things so I will not have a true comparison though.

thanks

I got my carpet fit real nice, but it laid in my finished basement under a heat vent all winter
