Brett 91 RS LT1

Hey, they've got .jpegs for you on Thirdgen.org under your post.

I had to fab some stuff with the LT1 swap too. Difference is I was able to make use of a TPI airbox while you've got that metal plate up front on the Formy.

Dude, get your hands dirty. Cut a hole in the passenger side panel. Not sure what sits there in the Formy. But in my Camaro that's where the battery sits.

Cut a hole, put a sheetmetal aribox underneath there, pop a K&N conical or whatever you prefer filter down there and then get some aluminum tubing made. Only hard part will be getting the adapter to the TB to bend right and down correctly. But that's really not a big deal. Then run a straight pipe over and cut it to accomodate the MAF.

Honestly, that is a REALLY simple job and it'll do a great job. And if you get the tubing polished it will look killer, too!

Design to install should take half a day on a weekend. Get it set up and working, then polish it.

I don't see the problem here. Just get it done and drive the car. I want to see sub-13s this time! That thing should DECIMATE my C5. Thanks for the responses to my e-mails about my problems with that car, btw.

Good luck with the 'bird!

Johnny,
Go to 3rd gen under the power adder board and look under my post "10.36@130 with a 150 shot". It has some pics of my CAI and a little info on it.Maybe some food for thought for Magnum.

Johnny, here's your solution. Who's looking out for you?

I was just over at pcmforless.com and caught this link........

They do Impy SS work, but I'll bet they'd be willing to hook you up for a mention in the rag. Of course, the pictures they have on the site amount to much the same thing as I was describing but on the nose instead of through the battery box (or whatever sits on top of it in the Formy). So they should definitely be able to handle it. Or even in your back yard. You don't think Cartek could do the job?

Anyway - tryin' to help. We need more fast 3rd gens on the streets prowling.

Keep us posted.

I would really try to pursue the idea of tilting the radiator back . You know enuff bout fabbing so I think these pics will get ya thinking You would need a lower LS1 air box for the mount and a LS1 filter and lid , then its time to get creative

Hmmm, or you can always go back to the factory radiator. It will keep the engine cool. I'm running a 450hp naturally aspirated 355 on a stock radiator from my RS which had an L03 305 TBI that made 170hp. Car stays at 180-190 ALL day, even after getting on the highway and running at 2700 rpm for an hour.

And that was with the factory water pump and 160 T-stat.

Would be nice to see something laid out in the rag about true DIY stuff. The Thunderchicken 4th gen project and this Magnum one with the Formy have both gone WAY beyond a simple bolt-on or build-up route that most readers can do and its all been done by shops.

The Impala stuff IMO has got to be the best design,wish they would`ve showed the car with the hood down so we could see what it looks like.I agree with your styling concerns.
FWIW,I only gained a few hundredths switching from the OEM setup to 4" pipe either on or off the juice.(406 :confused I realize it depends on the engine pulling thru it,but is there a way to literaly flow these different designs to see just how much cfm they can move?I used the SLP ram air that came with the package back in the day and the car went slower,so now it`s sitting in my garage.The plastic duct is just as small as the TB side of the Iroc piece.

Try all of them on the car and report your findings!!
