Default Carbon Fiber High Flow Air Bridge

I've already got a Blackwing and quad tip Borlas. I added one of those high flow carbon fiber air bridges (Z06 405HP logo) basically for looks. Didn't expect any noticable increase in power.

Maybe it's in my head, but the engine definitely seems to breathe even better and has quicker throttle response. Looks great too!

LAPD had a great deal on it with the red coupler.

Anyone ever install all 3 items (blackwing, air bridge, borlas) and then checked the increase on a dyno?

I have a similar set up on my 03, the only difference is out back, I have the B&B PRT's and Bassani x-pipe that were on the car when I bought it. I wasn't able to get a base line but I do plan on running the beast on a dyno in the next few weeks. Using 350 RWHP as my nominal base line for a stock 03 Z I'm hoping to see 360 to 365 RWHP.

I have a carbon fiber theme going on and plan on adding a few more pieces to my engine bay.

Take a look


I'll post my dyno numbers when available.

Thanks for the reply Tom! Look forward to the dyno numbers.

I appreciate the response. You also led me to the Eckler's partition which is a nice piece at a great price.

After I get my dyno numbers (I'm hoping to be able to say I have a 425HP motor) I want to find some vintage BIG BLOCK 425HP decals to place in the recess in the CF engine cover where the LS1/LS6 decals would normally fit.

Any one have any suggestions where I can find "repro" of the decals used on the BB vette motor's of the past?

Cheers

You might try American Corvette in Powders Springs, Ga. he has a ton of old parts, and part cars. I see if I can find the Phone # for you.
