ZR1 filter powercore g2
Is there anywhere you can still buy a new ZR1 air filter with the powercore g2? Thats whats on my car now & would like to replace with the same.
If im reading the threads correctly it seems the widely available AC delco A3107C uses the older more restrictive powercore media

Lost on the response, since the powercore G3/ Blue attack air filter is made by Donaldson.

So to short bus it, really just looking for the cheapest price on the acdelco A3107C.

I ended up getting this one.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123137950764
Its the A3107C. But looks to be the G1.
From what Ive read in 2012 & 2013 GM had Donaldson make a freer flowing filter for Z06 called the Powercore G2. Under part # A3107C. Thats what on my car now from 2012. But at some point in time they went back to the Powercore G1 filter for A3107C, and thats what is sold everywhere.

Shortly after the ZR1 was introduced, all the rage at the time was to use that filter. The LS3 had a tighter core than the Z06, which was tighter than the ZR1, which was also physically larger too. There was a photo at one time of all 3 filters and the differences were obvious. One of them went away in about a year and sometime after that it appeared that only 1 style remained. I personally never got too concerned, since I had already switched to a Vararam and was starting to experiment with paper filters for it.

So $400 later, your about the max that the drive line will hold safely in power and past that point, huge money upgrading the drive line to get past that point in HP instead.
So you have 620hp on tap stock, can push it up to around 700 safely, and then up upgrading the drive line instead.
But to add, 3 mins for me to remap your throttle to dam near linear and turn off TM, and you would be screaming for me to put it back to OEM with just the OEM 620HP on tap, since these two mods alone would have the car trying to kill you/roast the tires every time you look hard at the gas pedal alone. I bring this up, since the throttle mapping and TM amounts that GM used on the car to soccer mom the car, it really just want needs to be change to allow the car to unleash what it really putting out to start with.

Lost of this, since the ZR1 already has a TVS-2300 on it, and all your going to do is go to a smaller puller to increase boost, and then use a Meth kit for the added cooling and octane requirements.

Would do a Magy Heart beat blower instead. With it, you pick up gobs of linear torque just off idle, and where you going to use the power more for basic street driving.
