Air Intake Questions
A good friend is contemplating aftermarket air intake upgrades for his C6. He just completed exhaust upgrade (X-pipe and Corsa's) I'm sure there have been posts and varied opinons but would apprciate the current thinking on everything from cold air induction to MAF sensors, etc. Is anybody aware of a fuel pressure regulator? Thanks

For most street-driven cars, there is little or no need for an aftermarket MAF or upgraded fuel pump. Lots of guys do see gains from ported throttle bodies and/or intake manifolds, and underdrive pulleys. Such mods are often referred to as boltons.

I used to be a Vararam until I tried my first Callaway, and after that, I've never turned back. I've seen more power results with Callaway over everything else on the market. So it's my choice, but everyone has their bias.

Calloway is the way to go.
The fuel system (injectors, MAF, Pump) are fine untill you do a Cam or Forced Induction.
