It does nothing for an L98 except clean up the engine bay.
It does nothing for an LT1 except clean up the engine bay.
Actually, I hear there is a SLIGHT gain for LT1's so not ALL is lost, but certainly NOT worth the money unless you find a nice used one. Don't be expecting anything major to happen. If you are looking for performance gains, just cut your lid open and be done with it. That's free.

I purchased mine used on Ebay. It was $100. and came with three new K & N filters. It looks great but does nothing for performance.
Save your money on something that works. Speaking of money, I clean the filters a couple of times a year, so that saves money but thats about it.

I think the Ram Air thing was always a little hyped. I remember on my 79 TA making my own set up. I used two 4 inch hoses directly into the air cleaner from underneath the front of the car along with a free flow exhaust system. I picked up less than half a second at the track, and im willing to bet it was the exhaust system more than the air going into the carb. If I remember correctly wasnt Pontiacs larger ram Air GTO engine only rated 10 more horsepower than the non Ram Air version?

Its not even a cold air induction, it gets air from the stock location on 95. The surface area of those 3 filters is about the same as the stock air filter.
I say they are a waste of money, and yes I have the real CAI one on my 86.
