Default Which flow's more? a......

I and a buddy (Hawaii 5-Lo) was wondering, whitch stock air filter set up flow's more, a stock C/4 or stock C/5's air intake set up, not including the throttle body or intake it's self, just the air cleaner assembly with a K&N filter of course. Mahalo. :seeya

Since you have a speed density car I would say the '91. You don't have the maf restricting your airflow. :yesnod:

O.K, let's say with the screens from the mass air flow sensor were removed from the C-5, cut air lid from both. which one would flow more then? I do have a reason for these question's. I'm trying to do a mod that I thought of, but not sure if it will help my air flow, or hurt, that's why these question's.

Well, throw the mod out here and let us pick it over and critique it already :D

I'd like to! But I dont want anybody to think that I'm stupid or anything untill I try it and if it works then I'll let it out of the bag. I'm sure though that I'm not the only one who's tried or going to try this. :thumbs:

If you're talking about the air box, why not just go with one of the ram air setups. Vortex Rammer from Corvettes of Houston through the CF Mall is $245.00, and guaranteed to flow more than either C4 or C5 setup. :cheers:

Well actualy, my buddy took his stock one off and replaced it with an after market one, so I've found a way to be able to use it in my car but needed to know the flow numbers from both types of vettes so I'll know if I'll be improving air flow or hurting it. So I figured that I'd save a few buck's, I got his old one for free. :thumbs:
