Dee, heard you still have material left. Think I could get a spacer kit? My only concern is that I'm now in the mountains and its gonna get real cold in the winter. Do you think there could be a problem? I've also got the SLP cai, but I'm not too worried about it not fitting with the spacer.~Derrick <a href=\"http://www.appstate.edu/~do54457/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>My Webpage</i></a><br /><b>\'96 3.8L V6 M5 Firebird Y87</b> | <b>162.8 RWHP</b> / <b>196.7 RWTQ</b> <br /><b>•</b> SLP CAI <b>•</b> <a href=\"http://tech.firebirdv6.com/y87.html\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Y87</b> Package</a> - 3.23s <b>•</b> 180º thermo w/ fan switch <b>•</b> TB spacer from DEE<br />1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 -
I'm kinda worried about it not fitting with the SLP CAI, the intake elbow is already mashed against the radiator pretty good.1996 Silver Camaro, Y87, M5, cammed..<br />N/A Best Time: 14.012 @ 98.59<br />195 rwhp / 233 ft-lbs b/f heads/cam<br />Check out my site <a href=\"http://silver3800.cz28.com/\" target=\"_blank\">http://silver3800.cz28.com/</a>Comment

i'm getting one tomorrow i think--i have a 97 camaro w/slp cai, i'll tell you all how it fits. don't think it will be much of a problem though--the intake elbow is already made out of rubber and the radiator part it touches is plastic--so it should not be a big deal2000 NBM M6 Camaro Z28<br />323/335Comment

This is one of the reasons I requested the 1/4" spacer as ooposed to the 3/8" spacer.
It should really fit just fine.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HPComment

I'm confused. You have a slp cai and got a larger spacer?

I just re-read this thread and realized that I am indeed an idiot.

I have replied to those that have send email. As for the SLP CAI, I don't have any feedback yet if they will fit. I think there might have been 2 that had one. You are going to need roughly 1/4"+ about a 1/16" for the extra gasket.
As for the icing up. I doubt you will have problems with that. GM has to design their cars for nearly every climate. I work in the semiconductor industry and we sell to GM, BOSCH, Daimler, Ford, visteon, and they want integrated circuits that work to -40 to 125C for most applications. Which is colder than most climates except maybe some parts of Canada or Alaska. I just don't see the TB freezing unless you are going to see extreme temps of way below 0 F.
It is such a simple install, that you could always remove it in the winter if you live in those extreme winter climates.
I am just trying to be honest. I haven't been able to test those conditions down here in Texas! ;)

At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
