I would add a blackwing if you have a daily driver or remove the stock top part of the air box and tie some zip ties on it.

I have a Vortex but did not measure the gains.

Hi Ron,

Please try the search function. You will find about 50 millions topics on this, and about 5 from the past week. :yesnod:

Another good idea would be to stop by our Corvette Challege and see what the cars are running along with their results.

I did the zip tie mod. Was looking for something better.

I doubt you will find anything out there that will offer significantly better results. Maybe a couple of horsepower more, but not much.
