Sorry, but I can't feel the difference in my butt between running a 1/4 mile WOT in 11.3 seconds vs doing it in 11.2 seconds.

Besides, BMS claims 30 HP increase in the LT4(they do not show the LT1) for $89, so why buy a complete air breather setup when just a filter apparently does just as good.

I would probably swing $89(as I mentioned in my other post) when the stock air filter element needs routine replacement.

I wouldn't spend the $89 to pickup horsepower that I can't feel in my butt, and then throw away a perfectly good factory $50 air filter element with a lot of mileage left in it.
I guess everyone is different but after giving $60k $70k and up for a new grand sport z06 or just c7 I'm not worried about a $50 dollar stock filter that I have to throw away or spending $400 $500 on a cai I just want to buy best option available.

Let's see, I spent $68,000 and change (not counting taxes and fees) on 460Hp.
That's $147/hp

A $500 intake gives 20Hp That's a bargain at $25/Hp...


I just looked a ECS's site, and their 675Hp SC kit is $8K installed. $37/Hp I bet you'd feel that...

Just saying...lol

I highly doubt anyone is getting 20whp from an intake.

I put a Vararam on my C5 and later put one on my C6. Lots of people say they don't make a difference but they both did on my cars. I'll wait until I see more results. The AFE looks good but both it and the Halltech give decent results but they are a bit overpriced IMO. Just saying.

It won't fit the 2017 Grand Sport. It has 1 PCV fitting and the AFE has 2.
