Default Cold Air Cover for Blackwing

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I've seen it in the past, but now it does not seem to be on any of the vendor sites.

Thanks for the reply.

Strange.. LAPD shows it (as a package filter+cover) in the forum mall, but no sign of it on their own website. I'll have to give them a call when they open.

from what I've heard, you may not want one. something about surging at 3000 rpm's or something.

Talked to LAPD, they are not selling it anymore. They said it was causing most people to run lean and demand had dropped off.

Hmmm. Seems to me that it might be a nice setup if you combined it with a MAF translator.

Quicksilver,

I ran one for about 30 days on my 2000 Coupe without any problems. When I sold the Coupe in favor of my 2001 Convertible I was concerned about the surging problems that other people had experienced and opted to only install the Blackwing on my Roadster. I have mine sitting around, and if you are interested I would sell you mine. Let me know.
