Not the same intake question
Hello all,
I am new here and I am looking to buy an intake for my 1999 C5. Before everyone says "use the search!" I have to say that I have spent a few hours doing so.
The thing I was unable to find is a complete system approach to creating an intake system. It seems fair to say there are five basic components to the system: the filter, air bridge, MAF, throttle body, and the intake manifold. It also seems to me that while replacing one or two of these components will work well, a carefully thought out complete system would eliminate any bottlenecks and be compatible with the head, cam, and LT header package I plan to do this winter.
My goal is to create a smooth driving street car that is very reliable, but has a bit more power and sound than stock. My ideas so far are as follows:
Hallatech filter and air bridge to start off with. I think the 100mm output of the hallatech air bridge will be a good match with a 90mm throttle body and an aftermarket MAF housing should I need to use those at a later date. I also think that the 90mm throttle body would work well with a FAST intake.
What does everyone think the optimal setup here would be, given my goals? Should I even be considering a different MAF housing, throtle body, and intake manifold?
