Default I has lid now
Just need to extend the IAT and MAF wires and I'm done. Going to wait for it to cool off a bit so that's coming tonight. No trimming was done on the hood or car.

Looks like a clean install. Did you have to modify anything to make it fit?

Just had to trim the bottom of the radiator support since the LT1 and LS1 core supports are different.

Would love to see detail underneath. The hood you have must have enough material at the lid area raised to form the cowl...not likely to work on any other hood type (?)

The cowl goes all the way to the hood latch so other hoods would require cutting.

They have underside pics here.

I look forward to your results. It will be hard to compare A-B, but I have a feeling you will notice a difference and see a gain.

Lingenfelter with 1le elbow.


Just took it for a quick drive. Hard to feel SOTP but it definitely sounds quite a bit throatier/louder at WOT.
