Default will this be noticable?

So it's a stock 2003 Z06 with a Corsa extreme, which is straight through. If I add The Callaway Honker intake and stop there for a while, will there be any difference in performance? Even at WOT?
Later it will probably go to Carlisle for headers and x pipe, then to Phoenix for a dyno tune--but that's a ways off.

I doubt the Callaway Honker will add much on the stock engine even with the the Corsa's. Headers will add a little punch and the Honker will certainly help bring cooler, denser air into the intake. Cam, heads and new intake manifold will give the most improvement. It's a slippery slope to start down and you have to pay to play.

Every mod helps, and the Calloway appears to be well designed. But I doubt you'll get a seat in the pants change from a CAI.

on a dyno you might see a small increase but not so much on it's own when driving the car... it's still a good thing to do though because when paired with other mods it will show bigger gains, the more air you can get into and out of the engine the more power it will make

Default About what I expected...

The consensus seems to be about what I expected--don't expect much from these things alone. Well, Carlisle is in August, they have great deals on headers, so we'll do the rest of it.
