I haven't noticed any negative performance difference compared with the stock box nor has there been any WOW factor either.

I question if any CAI can provide noticible gains with this motor without a tune. With that said, I'm going to try SLP's Blackwing shortly. It's only a tube and filter but I may be working with SLP in the future with their Dyno based tune when/if they release the v6 version. SLP's shop is not too far from me.

I've thought alot of the Blackwing due to the fact scrming saw improvements in his 0-60 and such just by removing the resonator from the factory tube. Get rid of the accordian section and you smooth it out even more.

I've toyed with the idea of making my own, matter of fact, need to head to the store now, lol. Anniversary tommorow, gotta get her a gift, so I can swing by the HI store and price some goodies!!

Wow I'm shocked there hasn't been a reply from Airaid, NOT!

Maybe you guys are uncovering the real gains or lack off gains in this case and they don't want to show their face.

Gotta say, I love mine for sure even though I haven't driven my Camaro too much this winter. Will have to see in the spring how much I get for milage

How can you tell if it is on backwards?

convert · 02-24-2010, 02:57 PM

It should bend out from the air box, not in to it.

bmwdon · 02-24-2010, 02:57 PM

doesn't it seem that just keeping on the little black engine cover on there would retain more heat right in the intake manifold area, and that would leech out some of the power? I think I'll be popping that off in the future.

Thanks, my son put it on as a Christmas present from my wife and kids. I'll have to change it back up in the spring!

about how and why you should have the top curve of the weather stripping facing away from the intake C A B ..
Look on page 3 / Post #55 and the reply post #57 from David @ Airaid giving the thumbs-up for my post ...

Looking from the date and time from the post of fixing the strip , it seems like mibadd got the word out first

"WHO CARES" about getting credit for putting the word out first . We all have to look out for one another and to help out fellow MEMBERS with information that can help each other .
" FIRST OFF , I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT"!!
