thats for the vented opti version, looking at his cardomain site, its a 94, early LT1. with pre 95 versions all you have to do is take the two hoses that connect to the TB at the bottom of the TB and put em together. here is pre 95 TB bypass.

Even if it does only add 1-2, why not spend 15 minutes and $2 to get 1-2 horsepower. Seems like common sense to me. What is it "not worth"I would advise on not taking this guys advise. Maybe it is not a seat of the pants gain, but any gain that is this easy to do i dont see why you wouldnt

I say go for it, it doesnt take long at all, its really cheap, and it does add some power, but its really not noticable, but its there especially when the car is sitting in traffic, you can feel the difference.
