Default New LS1 Owner, with some questions.

Ok so I just bought my new baby, she's a 98 camaro SS/Z28 (this isnt a thread to discuss the validity of her being an SS, so leave it at that.) She has 48,000 miles, black leather interior, automatic trans, chrome SS wheels, SS spoiler, Flowmaster Cat-Back, all the options.

So I just purchased a SLP Lid and SLP "Blackwing" air filter from Afterthought Auto, btw great service A+++ for them. And I was looking online and i found this: http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php...roducts_id=293 . Does this work? Does anyone use it? Waste of money? Scam? I just would like to know.

Next week is 4 new tires, in the next month I'm getting Long Tubes from Pacesetter and an ORY pipe

If anyone can answer it It'd be greatly appreciated.

Now some pics for your enjoyment

The first pic I saw of her


First time seeing her in person


First drive

detailing the day I got her.

Its basically a scoop that runs below your front bumper and draws air up to the filter. Like posted above look into the FTRA, SSRA or the chris1313 ram air.

Ya, I'm getting the SS hood and the correct rims soon, it is supposedly an SS. But, I really dont wanna find out if it is or isnt, and im not gonna like restore it to a Z if it is, cuz the spoiler is already on it.
