hey everyone!!!....
I have been working for the past 2 years in making a CAI for my C3 corvette. While i was doing this several members on another site ask me if I would make them one also when i was done... So i had a mold made, and produced 10.... i have 7 spoken for... here is some cut and past of the unit... if anyone is interested pleas let me know...
Finished product:
This is a home made project, not my job... I am a high school teacher...... Below is a cut and past from a few post on my build thread
finished product:
UPDATE 10-10-12.... well, putting together a list of those that want one... I would like to ask that you read this entire post if you want one, and read that this is a home made product and the limitations i give for getting one. If after reading this, and you agree, I will make one for you also.
Raw unit $375 plus shipping , includes front and back intake pieces, and a moroso air cleaner in color of your choice.
For $125 you can have it painted in the color of your choice,clear coated and buffed.
you will also need to buy a hood/radiator seal kit from Wilcox to make this seal properly. you may need to make further modifications to fit your vehicle. this fists mine. i have a 1979 with an RMP manifold, BG carb and 1/4 wood spacer.

My test unit, this was the 3rd generation of modifications, the 2 pictures above are the 4th generation and final production units.
here are the results of the pressure test....
:rock:and they are POSITIVE!!:rock:
WITH THE COLD AIR INTAKE
ON I HAVE THE FOLLOWING READINGS:
4TH GEAR 1 TO 1
60MPH +.0038 PSI
100MPH +.0081 PSI
5TH GEAR OD
60MPH +.0049 PSI
100MPH +.0109 PSI
NO COLD AIR INTAKE
4TH GEAR
60 MPH -.0001
100 MPH -.0007
5TH GEAR
60 MPH -.0001
100 MPH -.0092
SO, AT 100 MPH IN OD, I HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN PRESSURE BETWEEN THE TWO OF +.0201 PSI !!!!!!!!!
I DO NOT HAVE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES IN YET, BUT THIS IS WHAT I OBSERVED WHEN I WAS CHANGING OUT A/C.... THE LID AND CAI IT SELF WERE
COLD I MEAN REALLY COLD. WHEN I REMOVED THE EDELBROCK THE UNIT WAS WARM AND THE REST OF THE ENGINE BAY....
I ALREADY HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA HOW THAT TEST WILL GO NEXT...
SO, YES..... WE DO HAVE SOME RAM AIR EFFECT GOING ON!!!
