At a recent dyno day, here are the results:

Year/model/mods/RWHP/RWTQ

2000vert/Vararam/IndyPace/326/329.5
2002coupe/Blackwing/Borla Stingers/328.1/340.5
2001coupe/Halltech Stinger-R/Borla Stingers/329.6/352.2
2002Z06/Bone Stock/361.7/347.2

1996C4 Coupe/Bone Stock/311.1/324.1

From what I've seen here and in other posts, the Halltech Stinger-R pumps up HP a couple more than the Blackwing and for the same price (or less), the Halltech comes with an additional large airbridge and smooth TB coupler. Both systems have very good filters.

Some of the vendors still have them advertised. The Blackwing is a good product - I have had mine for two years and it performs very well.

Yes. In fact I'll be listing mine for sale very soon ( as soon as I can take some pics ). The Blackwing served me very well .. just no room for it anymore with my D1SC.

Good luck,

Mark
