Dual Snorkel - First Build Thread OHH YEAH!!!

[Firebirdjones]

That's another reason why I have that issue, I've blocked the heat crossovers on my truck. The cold air intake just magnifies the problem if it's cold enough outside.

Not a big deal really, like you, I'm used to it. I run a 950HP on my chevelle as well, no choke, no heat crossover.

Yah thinkin of putting an annular carb on my truck as well or drilling the bottom of the boosters for more sheer effect. I'm hoping once all my carb experiments are done I can write a real good in depth thread on four barrels tunning and selection.

I wouldn't mind the performance of a dual snorkel/ram air again but I kinda love my 14 K&n haha. Getting ceramic headers will help the underhoid temps as well as cowl induction.

Did you cut the front plate off the mounts on the core support to allow the air to flow in directly?

Thanks for the information about icing problems, it's also good to know that my Burb shouldn't have a problem.

The front plate was punch out of the the core support and as it is now the passenger side has the baffled (stock) core support mount. The driver's side is just put into the hole in the core support, completely free flowing (except for the grill of course).

Don't forget the original Ram Air Box install from Mike!!

I practically copied his setup for my ZZ4. I used a 81-82 bumper as intakes due to the 88-91 grill setup.
