Ah you don't unless you're changed to an LS1 front end and have bought the airbox as well. Also you would have needed to fab up a piece of your intake to connect the round MAF opening to an LT1 throttle body.

It does do something if you have the 02 SS Conversion front end and have the functional hood, did me a whole 15-30 hp of nothing LOL. I got pics, look for Mike96z on cardomain.

this is how he was able to do it and make it look neat ,1996 Formula WS6 . his hood has clearance for it . a z28 hood does not. you can buy a few different hoods that allow a ls1 setup to fit there.

nope... just like stated above... My WS6 hood has the clearance for the lid. Though I had to shave off of the bottom a bit
