Could use a little advice choosing a S/C

[gtstorey]

My tuner had me pull the computer to load a startup tune to be able to drive the car to him.

CAI told me that the ZL1 tube wouldn't work with their standard intake. I modified mine with a 4 inch x 60 degree silicone elbow.

Ah bummer! Ok well thanks for the info, good to know.

ou're on the right track and for the most part have decent advice here so far. LSA, Maggie, Heartbeat, Whipple - all power and smile makers. Your current fueling will get you 600-650whp if the rest is setup right. If you're looking for stoplight-to-stoplight thrill, a centri or turbo(s) aren't quite the recipe for you.

Yes .
Man FI is getting like What CAI/Catch Can/Headers Threads are/used to be. A number of good choices out there. It is just what do you really want to do with it and your Budget. Glad you narrowed down a choice OP. Best Wishes.

I’ve had 5 Camaros and a T/A but never enough $$ to afford a S/C for any of them so needless to say, I’m pretty excited to join “the club”. Do you guys know if any of the vendors on here have any good Black Friday discounts? Not sure if I should pull the trigger now or wait til the end of the month

I've always called Steve at RDP he's always gave me a great deal over the phone or email. He almost always has a discount going on.

Unfortunately he doesn't offer an LSA conversion kit. So far I've only found them at Juiced and ADM, as far as C5 vendors go anyway. Plus a couple other non-C5 vendors who shall remain nameless. They all have really good prices so I don't think I can go wrong with any of them. I just don't want to plunk down the money now and find a better deal a few weeks from now, which always seems to happen to me. I think I may just hold off for Black Friday, no sense rushing since I'll have all winter to do it anyway.

FWIW The JLT CAI for ZL1 is very affordable and good quality.

CAIP-CZL1-12

I think i paid $300 for mine direct from JLT

I just need to figure out how I'm going to get a safe/startup tune to drive it to the nearest dyno once I'm done with the install. I was hoping I could get one from DynoSteve @ RDP as part of my lifetime tunes but apparently he doesn't do remote FI tunes.

Oh and does anyone know if you can buy just the ZL1 tube for the CAI intake? Or will I have to buy a whole new CAI and sell my old one?

PatG is easy to work with remotely....

[RealQuick]

Jannetty probably does remote FI tunes

[hammdo]

Ryan at GPI also remote tunes. He did my startup tune...

I was between the ProCharger and Heartbeat. I drove a 5th Gen with the PC and was underwhelmed vs my expectations. I'm happy with the choice I made.
