Does anyone know who might have the best price on a Blackwing cold intake system?? Mid America & Ecklers are at $299.00

Had A Vortex System and Hydrolocked the engine in bad Florida rain. Luckily auto insurance covered the damage.

Watch the CF classifieds, there's always someone with a BLACKWING for sale and they're usually asking between $150-175 (used).

How much water are we talking about? I was thinking about going with this set up.

Default West Coast Corvettes

West Coast Corvettes has the Blackwing, which I use for $252.95 and the product #11102112 in case you go to their website and need to search. www.westcoastcorvette.com

BTW, I went to slponline and purchased the genuine SLP Blackwing cleaner and re-oiler as West Coast Corvette only sells the K&N stuff. They are close to the same price and I just wanted to us the correct product for my Blackwing. Good Luck and I hope your motor stays dry this time! Happy Trails!
