On the LT1, an intake isn't worth the money unless you're doing a ported throttle body and ported manifold as well. Otherwise just buy a drop in like the BMS.
I have the gm performance intake. I don’t think it gives any hp increase on the gs but it is nice to be able to look at the filter without taking things apart. I think the afe has a window as well as you know
It's gotta do something ! Ever take a look at the baffles on the stock intake? Once those are gone you have a smoother direct air flow and a better sound. This mod is on my list if I don't do a supercharger.

Those baffles are called Hemhotz resonators and as ugly as they are these actually serve to smooth the air flow , the C6 LS2 motors , especially a stick car had an annoying surging caused by the airflow over the maf sensor , GM changed the intake tube and added Hemholtz resonators the LS 3 to eliminate the surge, they designed the C7 with them also ...
OP on an LT 1 motor the Vararam is the only CAI that shows a gain
I put on a Soler TB and a Vararam CAI. With a tune I picked up about 20lbs and 23hp at the wheel.
I didnt get a controler but I got the Z06 pedal instead. No more throttle lag

23 to the tire came from the tune. Not the intake or tb.

I know my final numbers were because of the tune.
Before the tune on the 1st pull my tq was 412lb and HP was 392.
I didnt dyno before the mods so I dont know what the stock numbers would have been, but I would think the mods gave something over stock.
