Hmmmm......98 intake on a 97?

[RadRacer]

Any pros/cons to putting a lid on a 97? My dad thinks I should ditch my CAI and put a lid on. He thinks we could make it work by buying the lid from a 98, along with the radiator support and all. What do you guys think? Will it even work? Would I see any gain? I know some people with lids have RAI and CAI, and that would be better than just my CAI. Has anyone done this before? I'm about to search for it and see if I find anything.

No it will not work unless you want to cut a hole in your hood. A guy on LS1tech did it and I am trying to find the info for you now. Give me just one sec and Ill get you that link.

Here are some links I found. One guy did it without having to cut the hole in the hood. Here are some pics of the guy who had to modify to the hood.

thanks. Anyone on here done it before? I've got the CAI that jimbob did from your first link, and he's saying he saw a difference with the lid. I think I might give it a try.....Plus, I can then make a RAI as well

You must mean a 99+ because thats when the straight TB where put in and its alot more work than worth it.

I meant 98, since my 97 has the angled TB as well. I don't want the whole upper intake and TB and all, I just want the lid assembly.
