ok guys I'm looking for some kind of throttle body hat that will fit over the carb or is there a car thats carbed that has somethin like that? cause I'm wanting to build my own cold air intake any ideas of what kind of car i could get one off of?

My friend did that to his 350. He took an old air filter Mr Gasket assemble and scrapped the upper piece and filter and just used the lower piece and took part of intake off of a 4.3 s10...the part that sits on the throttle body and fiberglassed it to the mr gasket part. Then he ran some diesel intercooling pipe we found laying around the shop and hose clamp here and there and slapped a k&n cone on it. I'll get pics if you'd like...

yep thats what I'm lookin for but will it fit over a carb the same way? or is the carb too big?

by **Blazin_Jason** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:56 pm

From what I understand it should fit over a carb as well.

i was considering doing the same thing when i get my truck goin..several members of a turbo message board i used to frequent used a homemade "bonnet" on single and twin turbo blow-thru setups.i believe a dual ram-air bonnet would be easy to contruct with a few pieces of sheetmetal and a good welder

I doubt that the spectre kit comes with what Jeg's has listed. I checked on summit and spectres site and I don't think it comes with anything but the hat. Would be nice if it does though.
