Florida Storms= No cut in shroud
I got caught in a flash flood storm a few years back here in sunny Florida. Water to Floorboards before I could find a spot to pull over. Installed Dual Intake with K&Ns and cut a couple of holes by the fog lights. I will live with the loss of a few ponies to avoid hydrolock! , Has this topic been covered enough or is that horse going to continue to be beaten?

If you install a cooler air intak that involves cutting a rectangular hole in the "floor" beneath the pickup to feed outside air to the engine, be VERY careful about driving through standing water EVER again if it is more than 6 inches deep or so. The GM 5.7 liter Corvette engine makes a MOST effective and efficient Shop Vac and will suck up large quantities of water in a VERY short time.

Thousands of Honkers have been installed on C5's and C6's and Callaway has never received a single complaint of water ingestion or hydrolock on a Honker-equipped Corvette.

Please indulge me for a moment, Ralphyboy.
I know it's been discussed over and over but I feel like I have to respond for Callaway when someone writes that "Several members on the forum have had this happen." I would think if anyone thought their Honker caused a Hydrolock, I would be the first to hear about it. I haven't gotten any such feedback since the C5 Honker system was introduced, in 2003.
