When are we going to get some legitimate information on this intake? The Cali Camaro - encourage them to hop on and give us some information so they can actually get to selling these things.

I sure hope this isn't going to be yet another company promising that their product should be out in a few weeks, then you look up and a year later, it's still right around the corner! We've been hearing about all these badass intakes all year and that they would be revealed at SEMA? SEMA came and went and I haven't seen nothing but nothing. This is frustrating.
Also makes me further doubt their hp gains!

This. Nothing against Nathan's build, but it was said that the composite intake wasn't debuted because his car couldn't make it and they decided to take it back and improve on it? That is a fancy way of saying it underperformed or didn't do anything in the first place. If a company has the opportunity to be first out and make some money they will do that...not wait on a car when there is opportunity everywhere else in the LS community.

If it made what they claimed, you'd have heard about it by now, because they'd be selling every one they could produce.

Surprise, surprise.

Well the Nelsons intake was shown at sema and was talked about so now I just have to go back to them and do the final tuning, should be dropping it off to them Wednesday or Thursday so Ill get back later

So after all the testing is finished, are you going to be allowed keep the NRE IM on you car for the long term?

Saw-weet !!!

Can you get the dyno numbers after the headers go on too?

So you'll be running a stock internals LS3 with X-ram, headers and a cold air only added?

You staying with the OEM throttle body?

It would be sweet if there was a way to run it as a dual TB set-up!!

Cali_Camaro_SS · 11-12-2013, 09:06 PM

Yea it will be just that, dont know about the throttle body though if they keep the stock one on ill maybe get one later

Dual TBs will bolt right up to it.

You would have to go to speed density if this was done though correct?

It would be a lot easier just to run in SD mode. Dual MAFs would need either a fancy & expensive black box to blend the MAF signals, or you'd have to add an external fuel controller with dual capabilities.

As only a half-baked idea, you might possibly be able to run a single MAF if it was positioned on the front of a single auxiliary plenum that would be in front of the dual TBs. That would take engineering and testing and could prove to be a waste of time and money if you end up with something you can't get to tune correctly.

Going SD is a kinda no brainer...

I've been running my 2001 Silverado in SD mode for 10 years. It's not really a big deal.
