Default Hall Tech Stinger

Just got my Hall Tech Stinger from the forum GP. Can't wait to install it.

Problem is we have winter snow now until about March. Last week I put in a Hurst shifter. Practiced shifting in the shop. Got a boot coming from Red Line. Wife gave a V1 for Christmas. I had no idea she heard me talk about one back in August.

I will put the V1 in the Sliverado and go cruising for my friend you is a local officer. Hope it works.

Do love these cars. Don't know how I got by without one.

It's just for looks. I didn't notice any performance gain after installing it.

I noticed a serious SOTP increase in response and take off after I installed mine. I love the hissing sound it makes with the air being sucked in to the engine. Definitely a highly recommended mod in my opinion.

A gain of 10+ Rear Wheel Horsepower is not what I'd consider "just for looks"! The increase is real AND noticable, especially after the computer has the time to adjust the air/fuel trim. Remember, the increase in power is most noticable at WOT, when airflow is needed the most.

Here's a pic of mine installed. Got it through the GP too. Throttle response does seem a little better.

Stock airbox with swiss cheese mod and K & N filter=12.21@116

Halltech Stinger= 12.27@115

This was with no other mods done between the two.

I have the Vararam back on now. Did run 11.98@116 with Halltech TRAP so we shall see what the VR does

This is only my results and is probably not the norm, but I was not blown away by the stinger.

No, since I don't drive mine in the rain, either.

Halltech Stinger= 12.27@115

The TRAP is a Stinger-R with a short extension tube (same air filter and airbridge), so with some time for the engine relearn, your Stinger-R times should be very close to those achieved using the TRAP.
