Just finished installing it, looks awesome,
anyone have any experience with his setup?




Here is the left aribox,

and the right airbox

 

Dude, that rocks! Looks bad a$$! I assume ya moved the battery to the trunk?

Thanks,
It will be in the trunk, the battery is on the workbench for now. I need to run a cable to the back and either get a box for the battery or build a cage for it.
I have an Optima Red Top, so I can mount it any way I'd like.

Hey,

IHRA rules allow a marine box for the battery. $8.00 at wallmart. Spare tire
cubby looks like a good place to me. Make sure you run high gauge wire tho. Fire = bad.

Btw, that setup loops pissah! I dunno if i'd spend the $299.00 for it just yet tho.

I take it your care is speed density?

How high a gauge wire, I was thinking 4 gauge from the battery to the front of the car.
I have an Optima Red Top battery and yes, I have a Speed Density system.

Oh, and I paid $185 shipped, since it was used for about 150 miles.

Thats not a bad deal then.. Where did you get
it? was it a SLP demo or ?

4 gauge prolly be ok. Depends on what you do
battery wise.

I'm gonna run two 700CCA batteries in my trunk or a 1000 CCA top post, so I'm gonna go with a higher gauge wire. I find with my headers, once my starter heats up a single 550 or 600 won't cut it.

Zepher, I would make that at least 2 gauge from the battery to the starter. I myself am running 2/0 to turn my high compression under any weather conditions. It needs more juice when it gets cold. I'm in the south now so the cold doesn't matter anymore.

Here's a list of wire sizes from smallest to biggest.

8 gauge
6 gauge
4 gauge
2 gauge
1 gauge
0 gauge
1/0 gauge
2/0 gauge
3/0 gauge
4/0 gauge
etc....

Oh, BTW nice air intake!

 

I have the same set-up. Bought it used off this board for like $150 from a guy in Hawaii. Now the fun begins routing that battery cable
I picked up a moroso battery box used from TBryne motor sports for $50. Don't forget that battery switch for the track. I mounted mine to the left in my convt trunk. I wanted to keep the spare, it's the wifes car.
p.s. It was suggested to stay away from standard battery cable and go to a welding supply shop. They have some really HEAVY gage wire for welders that is supposed to work excellent. I think it's like 0 gage or 00 gage.

Hey John, where did you get that Y piece for your air intake. I still think it looks cool with that lt1 intake on there too.

Ben

 

I made it.

3" PVC long elbows cut and welded(epoxy) together and sanded smooth/painted.

Ive always liked that SLP setup. The price has always turned me off. If I could run across a good deal on a used one. Did you guys notice a power increase over the stock airbox? Do the filters come with it? I would like to see a before and after dyno run to see the difference.

I wonder how restrictive the stock box is? It chokes down alot after the radiator.

John... that is a really good idea with the 3" pipe.

Hey, looks great. How hard is it to move the battery, is it a big job? What would be involved in doing so, and do they make any kinds of kits you can buy to do it? I really wanted the dual inlet SLP CAI setup you've got but I don't wanna jump into anything before I know what I'm getting into.

 

Hey John, I was going to attempt to make a dual setup like yours, but I am not too great at fabrication.

I bought the SLP intake used from someone from one of the message boards, can't remember which one.

How many feet and how much money am I looking at for the 2/0 gauge wire?

Thanks, I suppose I can make more. Sell them?

I would look at 20 feet. Also like I said before 2 gauge is the minumum, 2/0 is much bigger but would work very well. Check out this site for wiring and stuff. I got my battery cables there. http://www.delcity.net/wirecable.html

The SLP Dual Cold Air is a nice setup. However, for the 'big guys' out there keep one thing in mind ....

A 58mm TB has more area at the inlet than a 3" tube. The connection of the SLP D-CAI where the bellows connects to the dual air housing is 3". A 58mm TB should be able to outflow that section of the airbox.

Area of dual 58mm TB = 8.19 in^2
Area of dual 52mm TB = 6.58 in^2
Area of a 3 inch tube = 7.07 in^2
Area of a 3.25" tube = 8.30 in^2

Just some info to stir the senses

Can a setup like these be used with a maf type system?

I have a couple of people that I talk to that have descused it with me and we haven't tried it yet.

 

Outstanding! Although the ability to move air through the system will be restricted by the smallest element I can't help thinking about the "ram" effects at speed.

I'm assuming you can't use that setup on a MAF included.

 

Nope. BTW I don't think he's even using the setup at all anymore due to going to an LT1 (w/ MAF).

 

What'd you do, drive it backwards for a few thousand miles?

 

nice set up !
but another question raised up..
where's the charcoal canister?!
usually it's next to the air cleaner housing on the firebirds
on the RF fender well>?!
