Default bbk ssi on 94/95

Why is this not offered for the 94/95 car? Is there a way to make it work? If so how can it be done and would you guys rather have the ssi or ssi-r

the ssi is crap.....out of a test of 12 intakes it produced the lowest numbers, mm&ff did a test on 12 intakes a year ago, even the archaic gt-40 out performed it

You can buy an elbow for ~$80 to make it work, but unless its purely aesthetic, I wouldnt get it.

BBK makes some awesome looking CAIs, and good quality headers and mid pipes, but stay away from their intakes, they are total turds as they barely flow better than stock. Reason they will not work on Sn-95s is due to thier clearance height, I believe a read someplace that a cowl hood is needed to clear the hood on an sn-95.

Look into a ported GT-40 if you're looking to go the economy route. If not, get a trickflow, eddlebrock, or holley intake, all 20 times better than the BBK.

thanks for all the info. I am going to look into the trickflow. I am just worried about even nitrous distribution through thee design of the intake.
