Is this what you wanted to know ^............


Current Ram Air setup is not totally accepted/proven on the C6, although the C5 responds well, due to the restrictive airbox.

Stay with the stock setup for now....it's diffucult to beat perfection......

Who in the hell REALLY knows, but my bet is on Jim Hall............

What he said. Most of the intake stuff from the various manufacturers (Breathless, Halltech, etc.) is still too new, and there just aren't enough of them out there for anyone to be TRULY OBJECTIVE about which one will give the best results.

So far, my $$ is on Halltech, if for no other reason than the lack of cutting, and it's "supposed" imperviousness to sucking WATER into the intake (as opposed to some of the other "ram-air" type designs we're seeing). I'd sacrifice a few ponies, for the ability to drive my car in the rain, wouldn't you?

As has been suggested to you in other threads (since you seem to be driven to ask about EVERY POTENITAL MOD, in it's own thread); try DRIVING the car for awhile, read the forums to see what other folks are doing, learn from the successes/failures of others, before plunking down big $$ on mods that might not be worth the effort (or could cause your ride to self-destruct).

fer'example: Personally, I'm leaning towards: Halltech Intake, ATI Blower, Kooks Headers and the BB Route 66, custom tuning - with "potentially" a cam to round it out (and put me upwards of 575 to 600HP when done). Only problem is, the ATI isn't out yet, and they're still figuring out the computer.

Solution? Drive the HELL out of it now, enjoy it NOW - put away the $$'s for the upgrade(s), and figure, by the time Satans Claws is ready to slide down my chimney in December, they'll have the LS2 all figured out, people will have demonstrated the mods to be worthwhile, and I can put my "package" together with confidence that it'll be a configuration that WORKS, and that my hard-earned $$ will be well spent.

Regards to all,

Rick

I have the Halltech C6 Stinger, and I can tell you that it gives the Seat Of The Pants feel just like the intakes did on the C5. Dyno showed 11.3 RPH gain without any cutting. and a five min install.

The good news is that it is an increase across the whole curve, and grew to 15.5 RPH gain at 6,600 over the stock with Mangaflows. It sounds great and really feels strong. The Dyno sheet is posted on other threads.

C6 Stinger SSM number 3 and 4 ship tomorrow. 11.3 RWHP was peak to peak. The entire curve improved with the Stinger, including 8 ft. lbs of torque and a full 15.4 RWHP increase at 6600 rpm vs. stock.



LG Motorsports will be getting their order in about 9 days.
Corvette Accessories Unlimited just ordered as well

We have 60 systems in the works, that will be ready by the 14th of June, and 100 more in July.

Instructions:

The Vortex Ram Induction system is in stock and has proved its self to get you a 2 to 3 tenth reduction in 1/4 mile times. It is the first C6 ram induction system on the market.

i'm still very confused

the Halltech installs in 5 Minutes But It's Not a Ramair kit.

The Vortex Looks like a 2 Hour Install & Its a Ramair System BUT I Don't See a Ramair Scoop under the Airbox Like on My 2000 SS Camaro? so how dose it force air in ?



Helltech says 11RWHP & Vortex Says 21HP At Flywheel so its about the same to the Rear Wheels Right?

How much is the halltech?

He shows 399 on his site but he has a forum discount so a call might be in order. Heres a link to the intake ---> http://corvettec5.com/store/?page=sh...Cbr%20/%3E237d I ordered mine and he gave me an estimate of the end of next week for it to ship.

Ram air systems always make more power. If you want a non ram air system like the halltec we also have our power flow system at the forum cost of 350.00 If you want the Vortex Ram Induction system it would be forum cost of 485.00

We have done even more adjustments to make the install faster. Usually about 1 hour

We can ship out in the morning and it is up to you on how fast you want us to ship.

We are now closed so I will not be able to e-mail you again till the morning. If you would like to place the order just call me in the morning.

Hey Guys,

Has there been any independent verification of these H.P. numbers yet? The numbers sound very promising

I don't have my C6 yet so I can't try them out but it would be interesting to see what other people will experience with these intake systems. Thanks guys and keep up the good work

going with the callaway honker on my stage 1&2 purchase.

halltech sounded promising, but i was left with several questions about the guy/product having read the whole placement of the MAF discussion.

and 12 rwhp from an intake alone should cause some suspicion with anyone even moderately versed in modding sports cars.

One guy swears by the new intake and says he picks up .5 on the track. Another has some road dyno that shows a gain. But there are several others that show no gain. I did a before and after with K & N and had zero gain.
