Default Has anybody installed one of the MSD intakes yet

I was just curious if anybody has installed one of these intakes yet to see if there were any gains. I want to keep my car NA but am always looking for more power.

You know we will! Got quite a few C7's we have done na builds on that currently have our ported oem manifold that will let us do some testing to see what gains they get. We will put on an oem manifold to show the 3 graphs, stock, oem ported, msd.

I found one I will be doing before and after dyno's installed on a Cam'd Z51 we'll see what the difference in performance is.

Doing the Pfadt Sway bars as well.

the price for the intakes - ouch!

I was over at DBR Performance yesterday and they had a C7 with the engine dropped doing a cam and Procharger upgrade as well. The exhaust port match to the manifolds / headers looks like there could be a lot of clean up done with the stock heads. Wow, a lot of clean up.

Hold your horses, the vendor made a mistake they didn't have it. They are saying Oct. 14th availability. I don't think they are ever coming out.

This... pains my heart. It's in perpetual limbo.



I just want to test one and then grind all of the logos smooth.
