Air intake ideas ?

I am using a pre-vortec TBI on a Chevy 350, I am looking for a air filter/cold air system, but I find pricing all over the chart - from the mid $50's thru $275 +/- range.

Are there any products to stay away from and ideas for what works best ?

From the pictures on your website, it looks like you're going for a little bit of a 'retro' look.

You might want to look for images on Google for a "batwing aircleaner" modeled after the old Buick and Cadillac air cleaners in the 50s

Yep, trying to keep it at least looking like an AD truck, just with modern comforts .

I would rather have a smaller air intake unit than the 'batwing' look - just personal pref.
