Cold Air Intake for Chevy Camaro / Firebird (1994-1997) 5.7L V8 Engine

Maximize Airflow and Throttle Response for Your 1994-1997 F-Body LT1 V8

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird owners running the Gen II LT1 Small Block engine who want a more aggressive intake note and improved top-end pull.

The Problem: The factory intake on the LT1 V8 is notorious for its restrictive "bellows" style rubber ducting and a heavy, baffled airbox that creates significant turbulence. This stock setup limits the engine’s ability to pull in cool air efficiently, often leading to power flat-spots during spirited driving.

The Solution: We engineered this system to replace those factory bottlenecks with a smooth-bore T6063 aluminum tube. By streamlining the air path to the throttle body, we’ve improved the volumetric efficiency of the LT1, ensuring your V8 gets the oxygen it needs to perform at its peak.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Power Delivery: Real-world gains of up to 10% in horsepower and torque by reducing pumping losses and intake restriction.
• Thermal Management: The high-grade T6063 aluminum construction is lightweight and dissipates heat faster than heavy factory plastics, helping to keep intake charges cooler.
• High-Flow Filtration: Includes a washable, reusable synthetic pleated filter that provides superior surface area compared to the restrictive OEM paper panels.
