When I bought the 2006 Silverado 5.3 he threw in the Volant cold air intake. Is it worth installing on the 86 with the 5.3 or sell it? I'm not afraid to build my own that would take up less space. Hell as aerodynamic as these things are, a hidden flat/wide intake somewhere isn't gonna hurt much....actually might help LOL. I'm not convinced that an air box is gonna get me 20hp, or if I even need it.

All opinions welcome either way. I figure I should be able to get $100 out of it easily.

I'm not sure what this intake looks like but if it doesn't get you cold air in the square then I'd sell it. There are factory holes in the radiator support panel that will get cold air from in front of the radiator.
