I made 451rwhp with that "terrible scam air box"
Also ran 120mph trap speeds with my previous 416rwhp engine.
I think it works pretty good

Yes i agree ken very interesting. as mine is # 395 and it had it. did you opt for the performance exhaust pkg. when you bought it new? I did but i also know that these cars never left Slp in the # that was on the cars so you could have car # 250 and car #400 could have gotten to the show room first.funny how these cars were done .Thanks.

Forgot to tell the people who are wondering if they had the extruded manifolds...
I had bought a set off a guy and put them on my car prior to the AS&M's. They did have SLP cast in the side. That would be a real easy way to check because they looked identical to the stock ones. They obviously had GM stamped on them..... A mirror and a flashlight might tell you.
