Default Z06 Air Box or Haltech Intake?

Which is the better way to go? Z06 air box with a good air filter or the haltech?

Save your money for a Callaway Honker fresh air intake, Corvettes of Houston has the best pricing that I know of.

If the Z06 air box flows good enough for 405hp, is it worth the upgrade?

I have a 405HP Z06 and am waiting for my Callaway Honker to arrive.

If you are going to spend time and money in that area, I would strongly recommend getting a CAI (cold air intake). You will notice the difference immediately...

CAI -
I believe all of these take air from in front of the radiator.

The Z06 air box cover certainly is an upgrade over the stock cover.
But this is what I upgraded from to the Callaway. Wish I saved the $70. and just bought the Callaway in the first place. The benifits of the fresh air box far outweigh the Z06 cover.
I also spent a few bucks more and purchased the Elite Engineering Screen to keep the larger crud from entering the intake/rad. area. The added protection was worth it!

If you're thinking about a Honker, but don't mind the time and effort for a DIY project rather than shelling out the cash, you might consider this ingenious solution... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1547392

You take the stock lower intake box, flip it over and cut a hole in the upper radiator shroud.
