I don't have it on the Vette, but I did do it on my Grand National. I used dryer hose and attached it to an inlet air duct which I bolted to the bottom of the car out of sight. I ran this straight up to the K&N cone filter. I don't know how much of a gain I got from it, but it really kept things cool under the hood. If you use the dryer hose, make sure you paint it black. That shiny aluminum looks ugly under the hood of any car. Hope this helps.

You might also want to talk to John Potocki at http://www.tirecradle.com since he's about ready to release a low budget yet highly effective forced air induction system for C4's.
