If you are lucky maybe 5hp. The Z06 setup is pretty good by itself. Aftermarket filters seem to help the LS1 engines over the Z06's.

For $55 You Can Have An Air Intake Like The Blackwing

K&n Rf 1040 Filter $45(take A Look On K&n Website)
Apc Vent Filter $10
This Install Is Very Simple, Just Remove Stock Airbox & Replace!

This setup duplicates the blackwing or halltech, but for a fraction of the cost.

PM me if you want the link with the pictures.

Dyno results show numbers right on with blackwing, halltech, etc..

I'd like to see the pics and the dyno sheets on any halltech/blackwing etc that picked up anything at all.
