Default Halltech Stinger RZ vs. the competition

First of all, we are not connected to DMS in any way. We heard about them through one of our dealers, Texas Speed. They did a comparative dyno test on the stock C7 Z06 intake, and a couple other combinations. Our Agapostemon Bee Filter (Green Bee) was used on the final pull. Check out their numbers.

All of our Stinger RZs will ship with this new filter starting next week 2-15-19. We will have 100 filters in stock, but they will go fast. Introductory Price: $60.00 (filter upgrade) Sting the competition HERE

You can purchase our Stinger RZ in carbon fiber (backordered 2 weeks) or our Stinger RAZ with our TRIC RAm Air System.

The AFE comes with two filters which one was used and why didn't they test both filters?

We have three different filters. The current one is our Agapostemon Bee or Green Filter. Blows everything else away as you can see.

From what I read here, each setup was tuned to 'match'. Well I think most buyers would want to know which one makes the most HP out of the box/un-tuned.

If a CAI comes with more than one filter than it should be checked against the other to see which one makes more. From their pic above it looks like they used AFE's "low flow" gray/white air filter. Located at the far end (makes the filter look smaller) of the bench on the left.

Default 50 rwhp


We have dozens of dynos done by shops, some our dealers and other shops unknown. 50 RWHP has been the norm without tuning. The one above was done with our Stinger RAZ (ram air system for the Z06) 70 RWHP, with NO TUNING


We dial in air fuel ratios with our MAF read area correction.

When I got my Z I installed the AFE with the dry filter ( low flow ) and the Borla X and picked up 60 rwhp. We did the same mods to a friends Z but used the AFE wet filter and only gained 20. It was weird but the car didn't like the wet filter.

FWIW-i went 9.84 with the AFE but have now switched over to the Halltech.

Did his car pull timing with the wet filter? Also then did he try the 'low flow' filter on the dyno?

Let us know how the Halltech works out. Oh, and what non-OEM mods (wheels, tires, etc.) do you have 'now' after the Halltech installation?

Is the new Agapostemon Bee Filter an oiled or dry filter?
Any worries about MAF issues if oiled?
Thank you

Wet filter; we have never seen a problem with oil and MAF sensors in 25 years. Wives tale. K&N did research on this many years ago testing supposed bad MAF sensors from their filters and in every case there were other issues with the sensor, totally unrelated to the oil. Water, on the other hand, will cause the MAF sensor to hiccup until the filter dries out.

Our dry filter loses major RWHP to our K&N high flow, and it loses to the Agapostemon Filter big time on an independent dyno test above.

We have over 90 of these in stock for anyone wishing to upgrade. https://www.halltechsystems.com/product-p/aga-608.htm

Will these filters fit in the stock air intake system? I don't have my new car yet, it will be built next week but prefer to not have warranty issues by adding a new intake system. Thanks.

No, the stock filter is oblong and the Halltech is round.
