Default Filter air box

Have 96 LT1 w/auto trans.

I have seen a modified air box which basically has most of the bottom cut out. This will definitely allow for greater air flow, but does this engine need more air flow.

Will there actually be a performance gain or is this just pie in the sky?

And if there is a gain, how much?

Thanks for your input

Putz

If more air was required, the air box would have been a different design. I'm sure others may have a different opinion.

I tend to agree.

Here you go super Chevy did a test and it gives you 3 hp.

But it is good to know that the fuel regulator is a waste of funds.
