Default Re: AIR delete... Who's pulled it? Effect?

Could the AIR pump be ducted to vent underneath the plenum? Additional cooling?

I wondered about a PC tower fan rigged to pull air through the space...

Lets NOT get complicated now.....
That is the reason to delete the Air Induction with Headers....it is just a jumbled up plumbing Air Induction Mess and you can get SW Headers without Air Induction ports and without EGR ports for example.

Will an LT5 run if it is NOT Intact

I know an LT5 will run if it has parts that are Jumbled/Kludged/Ripped
And......purty FAST too


Just having some harmless fun with the boys

I was running rich on all 4 passenger side cylinders, I assumed because headers were leaking allowing outside air in. It ended up being the air injection tubing, as there are a lot of joints with plastic hose clamps. Removed everything and installed brass plugs on the injector ports on the headers, problem solved.

I bought Stainless Works long tube headers and had them install the AIR and EGR tubes on them. Bolted right up to the factory AIR system and works as advertised. I chose to do that because the emissions equipment is supposed to be there to pass in TX, at least in Houston, TX. However, I am positive I could have deleted it and no technician that has ever tested my car would have known.

florida does not test emissions. no cats, no resonators, tiny mufflers and long tube headers. previous owner disconnected air system. car runs great.

Hi gentlemen, I included a picture of my
Lingenfelter headers I plan on installing. My question is should I cut these air tubes off and weld the holes or is it easier to just hook up? What is currently there on my 1991 oem zr-1 headers? I do not have a lift and I?ve never done the job. All I wanna do is maintain the factory cruise control and get the performance gains from the aftermarket headers . can someone please post pictures of what they did something about a T and a Y fitting to maintain the Factory cruise control I saw he deleted these tubes and did something with the Y & T fitting, I believe plugged it.
Whatever is easier and cheaper I will do as I just want the performance gains and maintain cruise control. Can someone please show a picture if they have it it & elaborate is it easier to keep these tubes or is it easier to cut them off , weld holes and just plug the Y & or T fitting?
