New intake idea within 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 
LT1 air intake 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.

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?

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

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
