Air Box Question or Two
Hope this isn't a dumb set of questions.
Recently it was suggested I buy a Z06 air box cover and K&N filter for my 02 vert. It's very easy to see this cover will let more air into the engine that the stock air box cover. I was also made aware that some companies are selling a modified cover with a very large opening. I ended up buying the Z06 cover.
Now the questions.....
Would I have been better off buying the mod cover with the largest opening?
Should I see an increase in performance with the Z06 cover & K&n filter over the stock set up?
What if anything will this set up do to my current 29 MPG I see on the highway.
Thanks for your time.

What year Z06 cover did you buy? If your looking to keep the stock look, I would just keep the 02' Z06 box and the K&N. If not you could of just cut a large hole on your stock box.

Don't know the year of the cover, but it's about 1 1/4 inches by 7 inches. Yes I want to keep things looking nice and clean.
Care to take a stab on the other questions?
Thanks
