I'm thinking of adding the SLP Blackwing Cold Air induction system to my LS3. Looking for feedback if there is any noticeable increase in power?
Thanks.

i had one, there was no notable difference.

from some of the research i have done when i was looking at various models before buying our 05
it seemed like doing any CAI kit on an 08 up didn't really show results like 05-07 did
the factory setup is pretty decent
not to say it wont hurt, i just get the impression $$ per hp not really worth it

i would invest in a tune or nice header/exhaust kit first

if you want to feel a nice kick.... look at Chuck C.o. W.'s booster

On my old C5, (2000 FRC) it made 13 hp more on the dyno than the stocker. It is not something that you are going to feel in the seat of your pants when you launch.

Thanks all for the feedback. Just what I wanted to know.

I have one on my 11 GS. I didn't notice any difference in performance........until I got tuned by East Coast Supercharging!

it was the tune that made the power.. the LS3 intake is just as efficient as aftermarket systems..

I've had them on 2 C5's I had and also have it on my current 07 C6. Hard to tell for sure (seat of the pants) if any increase in HP ? I would think so, but again, the $$$ tradeoff for the cost of it and any realized or unrealized HP gains might be negligible.

Looks very nice, easy to install, easy to clean and re-oil it and makes a lot more room up front by getting rid of the OEM induction filter system. The Carbon Fiber bridge looks very nice!
