Will you be running a MAF sensor, or is the FAST system SD?

You could use your original throttle body-to-MAF sensor tubing (just need to stretch it out a bit to fit over the 58mm TB) and then buy the correct size & length tubing to connect the other end to the factory air box (would need to use a bushing to join the two tubes).

MAP sensor Dan. The FAST is a full seq. unit.

I also have the Holley 58MM TB. I'll think about your idea.

It looks like i might be getting an airbox fabricated out of 0.080 aluminum. if it works out, would anyone else be interested.

It will look similar to this with the Camaro filter attached.




I am thinking this will move more air into the TB. I am also thinking of a complete system right 2 the TB.

I put the claw on mine and to tell the truth, I did NOT see any difference from when I cut the top off the old air box with and a K&N filter. So don't waste your money on hype.

so i looked at a lot of the post on this thread and all I figured out was that there is nothing that works for the c4? that it is all a waste of money?

this is the one thing that i dont like about asking guestions on forums. you never seem to get a simple answer. it is always try this...(next guy) that wont work.

If you have a intake system on your car feel free to voice your opinion. but all the other crap is a waste of time for the posters.

Thanks.
