LT1 ATI D-1SC S/C Compatible with SLP Air Box?

Or possible to make compatible?

Eh, no not compatible. I suppose you could make it that way. As a matter of fact, I remeber seeing something about someone who did. Some guy that worked for vortech had a T/A for sale on ebay. He had it routed up to a ram air box (no idea if it was SLP). I'm sure it is possible, just takes some effort.

but can i ask a question... what differance would it really make since the blower is going to suck in as much as it needs you wont be able to ram an air to the TB since there will be a d-1sc in your way

[Snigga]

It isn't going to make a difference at all. The best reason I could see for doing it is safety. With the intake relocated down by the tire well, you have a large chance of sucking up water when its raining or still wet out from rain (trust me, I've been there). Having it setup to the ram air box will eliminate that. Another reason might be the quality of the air, that is, the temperature. While driving with the ram air setup, you will get air that is a little bit cooler than the air that would be sucked up from down in the abyss. We are talking very minimal power gains here. Other than that, I don't think it is worth the effort. I got some silicone and some tubing and routed my intake back up from the tire well so that I didn't suck up more water with the new engine.
