How much? And is the HP and Torque improved a lot or how much? I’ve researched and it says typically its only a small boost for the CAI

$300 shipped. GM website said 51% more air flows than the factory air box

If you dont get the Z28, I'm really liking my Vararam DRX, they have a 3 tenths or 3mph improvement or your money back, closest to stock looking out of the bunch that's out there too.

A Cold Air Inductions has always been one of the best paired with a race scoop. Check out these results from testing.

I went with the Vararam and it is definitely better than I had hoped for. Makes a noticeable difference at highway speeds imo. I would go cold air inductions or Vararam. Just my 2 cents.

Just high flow cats and a vararam and I pull ever so slowly on a stock L99. It's not a huge difference but I would assume a few cars by the 1/4 mile. Those two mods are probably worth 2-4 tenths is my guess.

Honestly, they are pretty much all the same. Save your money for bigger investments on your car that will provide you with the HP you're looking for. CAI more or less is just a support mod. IMO

Most gains average around 10-15hp on pretty much all intakes. I can't speak for Vararam intakes. They are crazy expensive, but claim 40hp gains. Idk about that lol

Roto-fab, CAI, and Vararam are the top three aftermarket choices. The Z/28 cold air intake is popular as well and for a factory piece is actually quite a nice choice too. Personally I've run Roto-fab on my former G8 and my Camaro and have been VERY pleased with the quality, fitment, and support from Roto-fab. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a cold air intake.

Vararam intake for sure! Go with the tune version. Or the Z28 intake.
