Halltech Stinger
Finally I installed the Halltech Stinger I got on the GP from nate@corvettegarage.
Installation was a breeze looks and sounds great.
No Codes... No issues with rubbing hoodliner, just had to tweak it a bit.
Will post pics after I do my Baer Eradispeed and Eradispeed Plus 1 Upgrade with powder coated calipers & SS Brake lines.

Thanks.
Thanks.
I too had the dent in the Hoodliner and I looked real close and found the new airbridge wasn't stitting tight against the radiator top cover.
To fix this I loosened both Clamps on the coupler and shoved the airbridge as far as I could toward the throttle body and retightened them I'm pretty sure the airbridge almost touches the throttle body. It now sits hard against the radiator top cover. Voila no more rubbing.
I also installed the Performance hood seal.

I did mine today also from the samee GP...right before my club meeting.....
I dont know I would say it was a breeze.....It wasnt hard but lets just say I never expected a CAI to take that much effort..(I know the vararam is worse)........
Mine sits perfect as well...no rubbing that I noticed ........

I have 1 question. When I bought my car it came with the Vortex intake. That intake did "Not" use the little rubber hose thing on the drivers side at the intake. I noticed there was a hole in the filter. Does this install there?? If so, How???
It looks like I may be missing a part the went with the stock airbox.
If I dont use it, Will this mess anything up??

Must have been Stinger day. I did mine too. It was harder on mine since I had to drill a hole and install the down stream air temp sensor. The PITA was getting the sensor out of the stock airbridge. I finally did it, but I was sweating breaking it. Works great no probs.

I am shopping for a better cold air intake and will likely do the LS6 intake/ported throttle body at the same time.

Halltech Stinger Install
For those of you who haven't installed it yet.
The best tip I can give you is when removing the MAF from the air box take a plastic tool of some kind or a screwdriver and pry the rubber up all around the MAF this will break the joint between the Aluminum ring on the MAF and the Rubber on the airbox. It is stuck on real good and you need to break this bond before trying to pull it off, otherwise you will be there for a long time.

btw my car is an '03 if that makes a difference.
