Re: Samco silicone air ducts (DiabolicalDave)
Are you referring to the main air duct from the maf sensor to the plenum entrance, if so, I do know a guy who is completing the 1st design of silicone hoses to fit the c4's, he's been selling the c5 hoses for around $30, but should be selling them in a couple weeks or so.....if your interested, I'll give you his email. I think there are like 4 or 5 colors to choose from, should increase hp a "tiny" bit..from what I heard, but looks better mostly... :nopity

Chillcat,
I'm talking about the "accordion" duct from the air filter box to the throttle body. But, I'm interested in seeing anything that's being developed. I'm in R&D mode right now. Please send me his email address. Thanks.

Is this the only company that makes these? The SLP connector for my TA only cost $50, and was fiberglass reinforced. No way will I pay $2xx. I would be interested in a cheaper version though.

how is the 427 coming along?

The reason I put this post out here is I believe the factory air intake is restricting the engine on the top-end.
