I agree the Halltech is a large airbox going in a tight space. But they definitely work well. PLUS THEY DO NOT LOSE POWER!
I was wondering which intake your speaking off since you thought don't apply to the Halltech!
Are you sure you're in a good position to criticize someone else's spelling?

You know, I was going to try to break down what Higgs explained to it simplest terms...but only one person here would benefit and even then he would argue. I have the hal tech on my car, but it came with the car (without the halltech name on it). I agree the fit is ****...

So? The main point is that your knowledge of these cars is the real laugh! I don't write novels and you spelling was wrong too. Your
just using it for a cover for your own problem of looking like a dummy!
Great position to know the Corvette's!
Since I'm on my 8th one since 2002 all of them but my 2009 ZR1 and 2006 Z06. I have added headers and blower kits to them. Guys like you get their first Corvette
and a A8 to boot then think they are cool HAHA!

Additional question gentlemen, will I be running the risk of the car running too lean if I use the drop-in filter from BMS?

Not the least bit impressive. Most of my projects have been much more involved, like putting together one of the first V8 Fieros. Built 350 Chevy with nitrous, in a 2600 pound car. Yes, it was faster than a Z06.

Or this. First place, Detroit Autorama, one of the worlds major custom shows.




I've only owned four Corvettes though.

But have you gained 30hp for 5k or coat your headers for "weight reduction" or maybe the coupe de gras install a catch can to keep your exhaust tips "clean".

Asking before I install my dual turbonator F1z for that extra 1000hp.. And change my blinker fluid...

LOL, no, I guess I haven't attained that level of superior knowledge and technical ability quite yet. Didn't the dude also insist that the A8 doesn't have rev-matching on downshift, even though he claims to own one?

My next project may be a 50's Ford F-series pickup or panel truck street-rod, C4 Corvette suspension and drive train. C4 drivetrains are plentiful and inexpensive, and since they don't have the torque tube of the C5 though C7, they are easier to adapt to different vehicle lengths and angles.

The short answer is, maybe. It depends on the modifications and fuel used. Our drop in tends to run slightly richer than the AFE & Haltech for example, which makes it less likely to throw the MAF variance fault on stock tuning. But if you pile on too many mods you *could* wind up with an AFR leaner than you'd want. Generally speaking though, it has not been a problem.

I knew your name was familiar. I used to own an E92 M3 years ago and you helped MANY 335is spank me hahahahah
lol, we get around.

On the dynos this is the orignal development thread here that has lots of good data: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...d-r-and-d.html

Lol. You might consider bringing your grammar beyond a 6th grade level.

What a massive ****.

But the BMS drop-in sounds boring? No clear window. Too easy to install. Nothing to show off.

lol true. And you don't need to remove before dealer visits for fear of declined coverage either. Won't be for everyone but it's just another great option out there.

no offense, but trying to show off an air intake is perhaps one of the saddest things I have ever heard

No kidding, I just tossed out any ideas I could think of as to why a person wouldn't just get the BMS. Seems like the way to go unless I am missing something.

I am also curious if a person bought the new GM CAI would the BMS fit in it and what would be the HP increase?

I don't think our filter will fit the new GM intake.. But for what they are charging, I sure hope they fixed the problems with the factory filter!

If the GM intake becomes popular (or say standard on new models at some point) we'll grab one for back to back dyno testing and evaluation.

After I posted that question I found a thread with more details on the new intake. Looks like a different filter design but the same size so your filter should fit.
