If they are blowing through the MAF I would get rid of those cheesy air ducts and drop some filters straight forward into the nose of the car. Out of sight and into cold air.

Re: Performance Enhancer! (fredl11)
I wonder about long term longevity.. All that exhaust plumbing, turbo, IC pipes are going to heat things up in an already crowded engine compartment. :mad
Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it's the best solution.
IMHO a supercharger is a better solution for the vette. You don't have the extended exhaust manifold heat issues to deal with. Seems it would be cheaper too, less hardware, etc...
Turbos are capable of producing more power, but they usually have lag issues and are overall, more complex.

Re: Performance Enhancer! (Phil97SVT)
Guys, Guys, this looks like a work in progress. Give them time. Yes heat may become a show stopper before it's put into production but, almost 1000HP out of 350CI????
Not bad in my book.
Think about the possibilities. Drive that into a set of 4.10's to keep the R's up!!! When the turbos kick in, the E ticket ride will start. Just hang on and bang gears, the ET's will drop off the scale.
Very :cool:
Let me be a test mule at this altitude. :smash: :smash: :smash:
:cheers:
