I have all Buffalo winter to get everything done right., so that means i got till June lol LIBERTYFORALL.. The SLP CAI u think is better than having the ram air ? Would i get about the same amount of power as the ram air setup?
From what I hear, Ram air only gives you real gains at high speed. Like around 70 or so.

Might want to check on swapping out an LS1 radiator then - I understand that the LS1 is physically shorter to clear the lid, while the LT1 one isn't.

As for which is better - the radiator support is already hacked... I'd consider trying to put some welded studs down with wingnuts and clamps to hold the lid in place. Either that, or figure out some bump stops to push up against the hood when it's lowered.
