My tuner said that regardless of how big you build an engine or how much air will be needed, a blackwing will ALWAYS work. I had a dual cone intake & quickly got a blackwing after that.

I liked my Blackwing. Easy to install and did let more air into the engine.

Actually - we sell both and both are excellent air filters. I have Blackwings on both of my C5's. If you are going to get a dyno tune, both are very easy to work with too. So I guess it comes down to price and appearance.
We sell the Blackwing for the C5 for $299 and the Halltech for $379. Let me know if you're interested in either one.

What are the effects of having the MAF relocated? Is it just to straighten the air more before it reaches the throttle body?
