the lingenfelter intake. its a lot cheaper than the rest and has about the same power gains. ah, the temptation. chris do you know if it will work for my engine? i know that the K&N for the 94-97 LT1s also fits the 3.4, but is it the same way with the LPE?

They make one for the 3.8 but I'm not sure if it will fit the 3.4.

no it wont. my guess is the 93 LT1 would work, since the elbow is the same length and the 93s and the 3.4 dont have a MAF.

yeah i think im gonna go with k&n just because i kno they are a good brand and is cheaper than the slp and moroso and has a good design. the lpe is cool but i like the look of the k&n better and the slp is also nice but i think it would be a pain to have to clean 2 filters every 3k and also the issue of weight because of it being metal, so i think im goin with k&n but ill prob change my mind more times by sunday
