bbk dont make intakes. get the gt40 intake. if theres no emissions, then a o/r pipe. plus, get rid o that smog pump and a/c if u have it. good 10-20 hp.

very much so. it helps immensly. get the in-fender one though. it draws colder air from outside the engine compartment. my 83 has the dual snorkel, in fender pipes, and it helps.
