Does any one know how much of hp/torque gain from installing the z/28 CAI?

CreeperRS picked up 16rwhp and 10 rwtq on a stock tune.

That's a decent increase with stock tune. Checked out the link, the Roto fab definitely had better increases on a modded Z, but would you expect the same type of increases on a stock LS3? I do like the fact that the Z looks factory under the hood.

The Z not only looks, but fits perfectly in every locator and stud using all factory hardware. Have it on mine and love it. otherwise all stock with stock tune

Thanks for the input, mine will be here in a few days.

I HAVE SEEN BOTH SIDE BY SIDE , the Rotofab looks like a higher quality piece. I have the CAI brand myself and prefer it to both .

That's what makes the world go round. It's all personal preference. I had the CAI but sold it to a buddy as soon as the Zwas available on the LS3. Had RotoFab on my RS, liked that a lot too

Got the Z intake and love the stock look...

Jegs? Have you decided how you're going to route the hose going to the 1le breather? I went simple with a 90 elbow, but there are some guys on here that did really incredible things with theirs. I think it's in the z28 section of the threads. Check it out.

Dealer, I know a guy getting it for Jegs advertised price. Was going to use a 90 but will check out the z28 section, Thanks for all the great input.

Z/28 CAI here, and very happy I went with it, but I'm curious where in PA you are, I'm in Johnstown, almost south central PA

That Lethal dyno pretty much confirms what my tuner told me a while back: Until you get over 600 crank HP, the Z/28 intake is not a restriction. Over 600 HP, he's seen a difference of about an additional 5 hp for some intakes over the Z/28 intake.

Z/28 intake here, big smile on my face and no problems.
