AFE for Stingray
Hello everybody, I just picked up an AFE 5R oiled intake for my stingray. Has anybody else went this route? What kind of gains can I expect with a tune ? AFE claims this and that but I know it’s not always true. Just curious, thanks.

Would I do it again…………. Only with the other changes, especially not in Kalifornia or any wher they check for a stock tune

Unless you do other mods for power, the CAI kits for a non Fi don't seem to really add that much to a car. They do add to a cleaner engine bay appearance as I think the stock system is quite adequate but ugly as sin, especially with that jug of a baffle hanging on it.

My opinion is little to no power on a stock motor tuned or not. I do think it helps a little with throttle response but I did ported intake, TB and AFE CAI all at the same time on my car before the real mods.
What it won't do is reduce power so I considered it worth it when I had heads/cam/headers/e85 mods being done on the car a couple of months after I put the CAI on the car. I don't have any dyno numbers to back any of it up.
I had before/after dyno tests done for the real mods.
I wouldn't do oiled ever again on a MAF car. I did the dry kit. Too many people bit by the oil getting on the MAF sensor and causing all kinds of problems. Just my opinion.
