Doesn't the stock airbox have a small snorkel to collect air from the upper grill? I did not install my CAI and the stock airbox is long gone.

....and finally...looking at my mods (see sig below), which solution would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,




(and to 2SSRS...you seem to have become a Vararam apologist...and I don't think you need to be. When the units are released, they will stand on their own merit. You don't need to tear someone else down to build yourself up. This approach is why your seeing the spears come back in your direction. Just my .02 cents. )
This is for all of you that think that i dont know what i am say, This is a Dyno pull from a stock LS3 and it "D1BADZ" car not my car as you can see it goes down at WOT to 9.5 to 1 AFM on the pull this is why he and you will not get all the power out of your CAI, See pic and good luck to you all.



So you see that is low and the ECM can not fix it in time not the O2 sansers, There is only two ways to fix it, one is to get a tune and if that is ok with you good luck, The other way is to get a good CAI that dos not let this happen, And know you now why i wanted the AFM out of the tail pipe.

This is my pull on the dyno look at thr AFM it dos not go donw at the end.
