1993 Buick Roadmaster Limited Sedan
Hello,
I have a 93 roadmaster limited sedan with the 5.7L 350 TBI.
I was woundering if any one has done a cold air in take on there roadmaster with the sane engine. If so please tell me about it or if you have videos of it.
I want to get one and want to know if its worth it and what are some of the gains with it.
 
Their wont be much if any performance difference with a CAI, but it will look better/different. The stock set up is a "cold air intake", but with some Caddy parts, pvc, and an open element air filter you can make your own warm air intake. Start off with a throttle body elbow from a 90's Cadillac Sedan DeVille with the 4.5L V-8 (bolts right on to a Chevy TBI). Then get some 3" PVC pipe and fittings and snake it around to where you want it, and clamp a open element filter to it. Done, but this just sucks up warm engine compartment air, not so good of a CAI, but it looks different. Have fun with it.

A little cutting of the stock air box, and some epoxy, you could have this.
