Lingenfelter High Flow Camaro ZL1 Cold Air Intake LSA 2012-2013

[Ryan@Lingenfelter]

The Lingenfelter High Flow Cold Air Intake for the supercharged Camaro ZL1 is the first upgrade every ZL1 owner needs to install. The Lingenfelter ZL1 air intake is a complete easy to install system that will boost engine performance by reducing air intake restrictions and with its unique design blocks hot air from your engine compartment by sealing to your hood. This is the same air intake system that was on the Lingenfelter ZL1 that was the first to dip into the 10s in the quarter-mile and the first ZL1 to go over 200 MPH with a 202.67 mph run. The Lingenfelter High Flow Air Intake uses a lifetime washable oiled filter to protect your engine without restricting airflow.

The Lingenfelter ZL1 Air Intake kit includes:
- Air Box designed to prevent hot engine compartment air from entering the engine
- Black powder coated aluminum air box adapter tube incorporates the stock MAF
- Utilizes a large six inch air filter mounting flange
- Heavy duty black plastic inlet air duct
- Installs easily using factory mounting points
- Will not cause SES codes and requires no tuning
- Lifetime washable oiled filter

On a stock ZL1, what am I looking at in terms of performance, will it need a tune etc...

Thanks

From reading the post no tune will be needed. I guess you can expect a little more engine sound and probably around 15 additional horses. Knowing Lingenfelter probably more than 15 horses but I'm just guessing. I do know that I'm ordering one!

Did you really mean no tuning??? Aparently everyone else says it definitely needs one.
In any case, I'm highly interested as I don't want to lose the warranty. I would just like to know the preformance numbers or a dyno chart for a manual.
Thanks!

He said it didn't need a tune, so I guess it doesn't. Like you, I'm wondering why all the other CAIs require a tune and this one doesn't. Maybe the position of the MAF has changed in the others.

Maybe the power gains are minimal without a tune. then if I only get 10 more HP I won't spend $600 for a CAI. now if you can get it tuned after the warranty period passes and get 50HP out of it, then it's a different story.
Ryan, can you provide some feedback?

[F-MAN-SS]

My understanding is a modified stock airbox with a K&N element will produce the same HP gains but it will need a tune

[joes407]

yes or no on the tune requirement?

[Ryan@Lingenfelter]

We have just finished up some further R&D on the ZL1 air intake and we have found that it DOES require a tune. Also, we have seen 20hp gains on our chassis dyno with this air intake.
