Yea it's a new development. Not a lot of info on it at the moment besides there's a few circulating for testing. Total speculation here, but I think the first round sold will be for Lingenfelter snouts, and the rev 2 to come later for stock snout. Looks like a nice piece, and if he's making one for stock snout I'm probably going to hold out until it's ready since Greg already ported my stock snout and blower

Everything the guy does works...so if its released for sale, you can believe it will perform as promised.

I bought the K&N Carbon Fiber CAI. Am very impressed with the appearance, quality, fit and actual dyno ZR1 test dsta. I had a similar K&N on my C5Z that was great and had actual dyno data that showed 12HP increase over the OEM CAI unit.

I’m excited for this. No more scratching of the hood and stupid extension harness that’s faulty.

I finished my build. Along with the kong snout and Kong porting, it made 940whp on blower only. On a 15” tire spinning lol

You have to trim the bezel a bit ~ 2" x 4" . Im still working to get the filter to stop rubbing the hood when closed.

He did a very good job of using every available MM. Best ZR1 intake for a LPE snout IMO.

Looking for an update on the intake, is it holding up to the heat being 3D printed?

All good so far. He uses a really tough plastic. It looks weak from the photos but its not at all. My concern was the air line fitting but its very beefy.

I think if there were an issue with his parts he would replace the part. He seems a legit good guy.

Hey Taylo708 they are holding up great and working very well for many of our customers. These are printed in house, using a solid ABS material, at a wall thickness that is even wider than most plastic intakes on the market. You can check out some more customers pics and reviews here.
