I found this post at an LH Enthusiast site on Yahoo. Yahoo Clubs
Apparently he made an interesting setup on his 1995 LHS with a 3.5L. He slapped on TWO K&N filters directly on the throttle bodies and cut holes in his hood. He then put hood scoupes over them. I believe he is over estimating the horsepower though.
Here's the post... if you can't find it on there.
I have a 95 New Yorker 3.5L that I've modified a little bit. I took off all the stock aspiration
from the fender to the intake manifold and threw it in the garbage where it belongs. Then I installed two K&N oval cone filters directly on the throttle bodies. Then I cut two 5-inch diameter holes in the hood with a dremel (my neighbor thought I was insane), and slapped a pair of Lund hood scoops over the holes. They were actually made for a Ford F-150 but they look pretty tight on my sled. These were intended to be for cosmetics only,but I'd already broken every other rule of luxury car owners' ettiquette, so I cut big holes in the fronts of the scoops too(via Mr. dremel tool) to make it fully functional RAM-AIR induction. I'm now fabricating a pair of intake filter boxes out of fiberglass to complete the system. Then I can slap the RAM-AIR badges on it with a clear conscience. This aspiration system
cost me a little torque off the line, but repaid me two-fold in HP between 3k and 6k rpm. My local K&N parts rep. estimated a 30 hp increase. I'm not at all reluctant to agree with him. She really puts ya back into the buckets at the middle of each gear. Runs right at 100mph in the mid fourteens at the strip. Not bad for a stock six in a 2-ton grocery-getter. G-tech Pro put it at 265hp.
Should be 350-400 when I'm done. Doing a 2 1/2" dual exhaust next month. I plan to throw a bottle at it eventually. Will try to get some pictures up this week. I'll title them "95 New Yorker LHS/S".
Well that's the route I took to higher HP. It's not for every one, just those who don't mind taking a grinder to a perfectly good hood. That's all for now.
Good Luck,
Dallas
