Let me see if I have this "somewhat correct". I ordered the plastic no tune version. But there is no guarantee that I will not need a tune. Correct??? Also if I order the filter then I will "definitely" need a tune??? Are those 2 statements correct???

You will get what you ordered. We have not started testing the plastic induction, since the molds are not in our possession yet.
We know the plastic unit can be "trimmed" to make it a tune or no tune unit, so when we get the setup you ordered, it will be shipped.
Where did you get the idea that there is no gaurantee it will not need tuning? That is completely false. The high flow filter is a tuning only filter on the carbon fiber unit, but may not require tuning on the plastic unit. Just hang tight. We are two week ahead of our launch date.

I am just gauging interest in a Group Purchase Program to get these out to the forum members and to see how many we need to get done the first few weeks. GROUP PURCHASE PRICING WILL BE $425.00 WITH FREE SHIPPING FOR THE FIRST 25 CUSTOMERS (Lower 48 Only)
We are about 7 to 8 weeks from launching our new C7 and C7 Z06 Stinger-R and Stinger-RZ rotomolded Nylon induction system.
I cannot tell you the material we are using, and it will not stave off heat soak the way our Patent Pending CKN technology does, but it will be better than stock in that respect.
Power will be exactly what our Stinger CKNZ system is producing as reported by Katech.
Without tuning of any kind.
With a small amount of fuel correction Katech slapped the dyno silly with a +36 RWHP increase. This was not full tuning, but what is called corrective tuning to bring back the best power air fuel ratio. Safely.
Looking for more power, stay tuned. Our dealers are not done. There are so many new parts coming down the pike, this car will be a 9 second street monster very soon.
I am going to post installation tips starting today. We plan on doing a video to make the installation process much easier.
I got a call from a customer that was having some really bad luck during his installation, and I feel terrible. He cut his finger cutting off the hard line radiator overflow line, and broke off the nipple to the thermostat housing somehow. Ugh!
He asked why we sent two identical filters. We actually sent a Synthetic Dry filter (installed) and a ST689 High Flow filter. Both have the same K&N part number because we had K&N use our ST689 mold and change the media to the dry synthetic media. On the carbon fiber CKNZ system, the filter makes the difference between tune, and no tune (Synthetic Dry) since he was one of the original beta testers.
This basic preparation is to make room for our huge by large airbox. We use up all the real estate, so some things must be moved slightly.
The first thing is to get the radiator hose away from the airbox. It may touch the bottom of the airbox if not relocated back and up. Not much, but this is important. I know that this is not something most of you would worry about, but imagine 230F water temps, resting directly on the CKN heat or plastic airbox. Yes, it would eventually heat up the airbox. The first video is short and shows how I zip tie the hose to the rear hose, and put a strip of gold heat barrier on the hose. I know, the gold is supposed to reflect heat, but some folks complain when it is put on the airbox. So we are going to put it in every installation package and you can decide. We have used gold, aluminum ceramic, and other materials since 2013 when we started making the CKN airboxes for the C7 Stinger setup and it will be even more important with plastic.
That 3/8 rubber line is an eye sore running over the air box. Any other way to route it? It takes away from the carbon fiber with a rubber snake floppin around on it.
I was part of the non thread some time ago but never heard back. I want one of the non tune non carbon fiber units. Please pm me with what I need to do

It is long enough to run under the airbox. Problem solved.

We have suspended our carbon fiber units for the time being to get caught up.

I just did this. Barley bumped it and it sheared. And of course it is Sunday and of course I have to fly out this afternoon to a meeting for week with coolant everywhere. I am pissed off
