i think you need to do more research, especially if you think you will "make a few more horses."

Does the Hall-Tech and AFE allow more intake whoosh sound? Kind of enjoy that. The stocker is very quiet.

One more thing, anyone experiencing a off idle slight hesitation or lazy tip in. This is with the stock intake track, no mods and only 400 miles on a 15 car.
Bulges are also GM's version of catch cans. They fill with oil....at least they do if your car is burping into the intake. : )

You can have some of my extra 'whoosh' sound from my twin BOVs. I have plenty to spare - I'll sell it cheap.

Loaded the Trifecta tuning recently and no lazy tip-in for sure, quite the opposite!
