Something to think about when comparing plastic to Aluminum, once you are at WOT, the air travels so fast through the tube that there is not time for it to heat up, especially if you have a true cold air intake like we will have pulling the air from the front grill area going over the radiator.

Prototype PICS...

Guys we will be engine dyno & chassis dyno testing a bunch of different intake options shortly. Hopefully we can get the LS3 out of my car next week & on the engine dyno for some testing. We're finishing up the TSP intake for under $300 & the air aid is also very nice & priced at right about $320!!

Here is a link to the dyno graph:

VERY NICE!! I'm watching this thread for pix of the final product. Utilizing the factory vent?! Can you maybe elaborate on the baffling to avoid water intrusion, and if this was installed on the posted dyno?
THANKS!!
