Cold air screens question
If I replaced my C5 foglight housing with a set of screens, will I be allowing cold air into the engine bay? Will this improve the performance of a bolt on intake such as a Blackwing, Haltec, or K&N to be more effective?

Yes, you can either remove the fog light panels, completely or replace them with pre-drilled versions. This will allow cold outside air in to cool off intake air temps. If you like the look of the black fog light panels and fog lights that are not diffused by Z06 screens, an option is to do part or all of my CAI for Halltech Stingers and Blackwings:

I was able to bring down intake air temps by as much as 40 degreesF, compared to not having the CAI.

.They're also on sale right now, I think $279 delivered to your door from LAPD. That's a GREAT price, about $50-$75 off what you'd typically pay for it. If you don't know much about the Vararam do some searching here in the forums and check out their website.
