Didn't know what the correct name was for it till after my first post. I knew it wasn't a true roll bar because off how it is fastened to the car. I had a true one on my old k5 blazer, it tied into the frame at 4 points and did not just fasten to the body with 2 little bolts. Eventually I may get a real one for it, haven't decided what my true plans are for the car just yet. Thanks for the warning though.

 

Yeah I call any open cone under the hood a hot air intake, I learned with my 92 lq1 powered grand prix that unless it is out of the engine bay it isn't doing nothing but costing u power once the motor gets warm. We got all the stuff at work to build your own intake so I will probably play with it on a slow day and see what I need to do to get one to cool air.

 

LOL, I thought I had coined the phrase Hot Air Intake!

There is one that works rather well, it's called the Randall Intake. Basically you drill a large hole in the upper part of the firewall above the clutch slave cylinder and route tubing to the air box. It has been proven to give slight gains as opposed to losses. I would do it myself but I have sort of an OCD thing about my engine bays.

 

I just can't bring myself to cut into my firewall...thats the point of no return in so many wways lol.

 

Yeah me neither cutting into the firewall can not be good for structural integrity in some way.

 

Some more pics i took today, the red z71 on the back ground is my other vehicle.

 

looks good! whats on your tires btw?

 

just some eagle 1 tire shine lol, just put it on to take pics, got washed off in the mud puddle in the driveway already lol.

 

lol!! Its so shiny it looked white in the pictures. Glad to see you take pride in the car though.

 

I take pride in all that I own for the most part, no one else is going to care about taking care of my stuff.
