Why not have K&N make you a filter like on the aftermarket 2013/2014 GT500s? Lots of extra flow with the end open too. Seems ideal with your TRIC.
That is called a bird nest filter by K&N. Maybe we'll test it next year. We always have K&N flow bench our intakes before changing anything. We talked about that filter at the beginning, and decided that it has some issues with turbulence due to multiple vectors.

one could make even more power without an intake at all. even the "high flow" filter is restrictive at the end of the day.
if it wasn't for the pesky MAF, one could just remove the whole intake assembly for dyno (and drag strip) use and really put some power down.
but since we have to drive on the street with filtration and the E92 ECM won't allow the Z06 to boost with a MAF code present, we can't run Speed Density and the presently offered intakes flow more than the stock setup, it's the best we can do at the moment.
I wonder how many so called "stock" 1/4 mile achievements were accomplished this way?
Katech tested our Stinger-RZ vs. the stock airbox sans the filter and found parity between the two dynos. I know of one that did this for sure.

I bet it would be worth a test! I would venture to say with your TRIC turbulence may not be a factor.

If it tested to make more power, you could possibly sell it as an upgrade option.

Probably none because, like I mentioned, the car wouldn't run, CEL, etc etc.
Stock airbox without a filter would be the same thing, terrible.
I am talking about disabling and removing the MAF and running an open throttle body, which also can't be done on these cars with the stock computer still managing things.
Jim, for a street car - no track usage, is the Halltech Nomex Cloth Sock necessary or will it just help on the track keep temps down (utilized with just the Stinger RZ system)

I think it is at least as necessary for a street car.
I agree, I think this falls under the "every little bit helps" category.
Every little thing that helps keep your incoming air cooler, is going to help maintain maximum HP, and keep the car from pulling timing (and power).

The hot air coming out of the radiator fan is plowing right on the intake box and intake tube.
Anything you can do to keep the in-coming air cooler will make more HP/TQ!
And it just sits over the piping like in the pics on Halltech website?
ACS55: did you have it on during your runs?
I installed the NOMEX sock on my Halltech CAI intake tube, at the same time that I installed the Halltech CAI. All of my results have included the nomex sock as part of the package, with the HT CAI. I Also carefully sealed the gap between the Apron and the CAI Air cleaner housing-- the weatherstrip provided with the HT wasn't adequate so I purchased some self-adhesive automotive foam weatherstrip 1/2" wide and 1/4" thick, and used that to seal the gap and keep the hot engine compartment air out. I think this will help after I install the TRIC as well, to try and maintain a tight seal for the "true ram air effect".

Great point, have wrapped the air box with insulation yet?

It's funny that you mention this... I have the insulation purchased but haven't applied it to the box because I am torn as to whether I can live with the look of aluminum foil covered insulation all over the box.
I prefer the OEM look when possible.
Can my Bright red Z06 be considered a sleeper? LOL..
My CAI is to be delivered next week. I did the sleeve in hopes that the hot summer AZ heat won't be made worse with the engine bay heat. I have a question for Jim, what is the WOT air flow in CFM for the LT4? Is the air in the tube long enough to heat up from the engine bay?
I installed my unit last December and have about 25k miles on it. What's the recommended maintenance? At what point do i need to clean or replace the filter?
BTW, still pulling like a freight train and I'm very happy w/ it.
Thanks,

I has a different top for that reason. Either filter will make 50+ RWHP. All dynos done recently that showed almost unbelievable numbers were done with the Rev 1 filter on the left.
Notice that both have the K&N logo. That was before we paid $1000 to have our logo on the top since we designed them.
