Yes, I can see we are going to be friends. What I meant was the modern day pre-made things we know as CAI's. I know all about what was going on and had been goin on for ever. Basically exactly what you said, the premade available to the public in mass circulation pieces we know of today.
Do you have any more pics of your setup? Lvoe to see them. 99% of the "CAI's" i've seen for the GTO seem moot to me and would still be drawing in a serious amount of warm air as opposed to cold air they claim to be sucking up. The car just doesn't appear to be designed for a true CAI w/o some cutting and mending.
That said, what kind of intake temps are you reading? Clever little setup.
