I did some measuring and the ls1 airbox setup just won't fit under a z28 hood. However i did come up with an interesting idea and the key parts came in the mail today. How does a c5 airbridge with a conical filter cut through the radiator shroud hanging infront of the radiator sound? Looks like it will work but won't know more till Sunday

 

I have a 94 T/A with a US Exotics fiberglass ram air hood (WS6 style) but non functional. It has the air ducts with a cutout where an air box should go. I thought about getting a throttle body adapter to hook directly to the MAF (common on Impala SS). From there get a filter from the K&N FIPK for the C5 Vette. It has a 3 1/2" opening to clamp on the MAF. It should lay on the radiator support right in the cutout to have a ram air effect. I haven't tried it but might give you an idea for something else. I don't have the money to play with it since the filter will run you around $100.

 

SUCCESS!

With a little clearancing of various items this looks like its gonna work. Having a hard time uploading pics but hopefully i will be able to post them tonight

 

Here are a couple pics of the initial idea:

Just my opinion, but that looks like it would be a little restrictive. I do like where it places the filter though, right were the air comes up the airdam.

 

The vette airbridge looks pretty flat but it is failrly wide and has nice smooth contours so i think it will be alright. Plus the ram air effect will be a plus.

 

Yeah definitely. You plan to dyno it for a referenced power gain???

 

I have yet to dyno the car at all but i will post track results when it opens in april

 

I hate to be a party pooper, but where does the MAF go? It looks like if you add the MAF in you'd have to cut off some of the radiator shroud (no big deal), but otherwise cool idea!

 

nice setup like the way you chop up the 3.4 support nice i woder if this you'd work on my 3.4 v6 i dont think that i will have the space but i will look in to it

 

Other have opinions of this? I wanted to do the LSx lid set up but dont need a different hood at the moment just to do a lid, already got the SS style on there....
This looks like a good alternative to the traditional LT1 set ups but is there actual cooler air getting to the set up?

 

I think this is a great idea, I always wondered why aftermarket companies make so many twists and turns in their set ups.

 

If you look closely at one of the pics it looks like he added the MAF at the filter end of the intake so its all good

 

It will fit under a stock hood

Check that out.....

 

If anyone is interested I could sell the filter, intake, and maf translator I used as a maf wire extension for $80 bucks. I wrecked my camaro (didn't have this on it at the time) and no longer need it. I did work good and I gained back about 2 tenths going back to the stock intake with a cut open filter element.

It was hard to make fit under a stock style hood but she run better, not sure how much hp but im sure is was 5rwhp over my old Moroso CAI

Anything is better than stock!!!

Check out my website or the links on Camaroz28 for the how to

 

no offence.. its a good idea.. but i think a CAI would be easier/more effective... oh and.. clean ur engine bay!..

 

the bay is nice and clean adn painted. the motor itself is what's dirty.
