Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
I pieced this kit together one day because nothing else would fit under my hood after I got my Blueprint engine. The Vortec heads combined with the new intake I had to use for those heads made nothing else fit. But then I realized while this is a great cold air kit, it's not meant for a 385 hp engine. When I got around 3500 rpm it choked. After discussing this with Spectre they came to the conclusion that this would work great on a 300 hp or less engine. So that means pretty much any stock third gen.
So I have this kit for sale, if you've got 300 or less hp, this is for you...
Spectre Performance Cold Air Intake Tubing (8208 - 8708 - 8136)
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-8208/ ($48.39)
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-8708/ ($12.39)
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPE-8136/ ($28.69)
Turbonetics 10351 - Turbonetics Carburetor Pressure Plenum
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TNT-10351/ ($115.95)
Here's my original post about it with pictures...

This cold air setup only has about 300 miles on it. I paid $190 for all of it (it cost less when I got it). I'll take $110 shipped.

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
I like that, i've been wondering about something like that for a while. To bad it probably doesn't flow as well as the pro-flow i have now though.

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
Seriously the pro flo can be overkill. I mean do you have an engine that sucks in 1000cfm? What size engine do you have? What carb? Or is it tbi? Also do you know your hp?

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
Very true, its a 350 with mild mods and a edelbrock 600cfm carb. Not sure of the horsepower i'm guessing around 270. Sorry not trying to keep bringing that up in every post, i do love the way that intake looks. I'm very tempted to buy it, I just don't want to risk losing any performance.

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
That is in no way a cold air kit. It is still grabbing hot air from within the engine bay. On the other hand looks decent for a budget!

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
True because of where I put the filter it wasn't getting cold air. But that's what they label these things.
I want to sell the whole thing as a kit. So if you want the hat you need to buy the whole thing.
As for the 270hp, this will work great and you won't lose any power.

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
If you put a small wall around the filter, it could be turned into a cold air setup. Until then, it is a hot air intake & could be costing you power, because of the hot air the engine is ingesting.
Or put a 90 degree where the filter is, run the tubing THROUGH the flat tray below & put the filter under there. Then you have a nice Cold Air Intake.

Re: Cold Air Intake - Perfect For Low Hood Clearance
True, that would help. As it is in my photo it's getting the same results as a typical open element air cleaner, like the 14 inch I had listed. It seems most people tend to use those. So basically with this one you'll get the same effect but with a different look and fitting. This fit under my hood when a 14" wouldn't.
