Which one will give me the most horsepower? Lingenfelter says at least 12. I assume that's at the crank.

It says at the wheels, but just pick one you like the looks of, this isnt some new topic, they are all about the same....The End.

Just don't buy the G2 one. I like the K&N FIPK, around $200

really not that hard to do (don't even have to be mechanically inclined) and at costing about 60$ with the same gains, you can't go wrong *imo*

don't own an lt1 (yet) but i've done it on my v6
which is pretty much the same thing cept my filter sits on the other side of the engine bay
basically all you need is some piping (for lt1 guys i think you can use pvc (plumber) pipes, some rubber hose, aluminum, whatever) and then get a filter the right size and voila! cheap, easy power

i can't remember his user name from this board, but i found it on here
there's one way of doing it (scroll down to bottom and click on the cai link)
hope that helps

edit: didn't see arctic's post til now
you can also search like he suggested
i haven't seen the spectre intake thread yet but i'm sure you'll find more useful ideas there also

Here's a link to my SLP CAI (pics at the bottom of the album). I've had both the SLP and the K&N; like the SLP much better (asthetics)
