Default Attack Blue

Got the change engine air filter alert last week on my 22 with less than 15k miles on it.
At a quick glance I thought it said change engine, so I was happy to see change engine air filter!
Installed the attack blue today.
I drove it first, then changed it, then drove it again.
I was trying to be as honest with myself as possible, but I did feel like it sounded and felt a little better.
placebo affect?
I don't think so.
Regardless, it seems like a no brainier mod (if you can call it that).

Hope you got the legit AB. There are a few floating around that are not legit.

Yup, it did say "change engine", new requirement now, engine change required every 15K miles or 4 years, whichever comes first...

I have installed many improvements and bolt ons to several Corvettes.
The true test is to go out and run it wide open.
My experience is that a claimed 5 hp improvement is hard to tell if it helps at WOT.
10 hp you can feel seat of the pants.

Blue air filter is claimed to be 5-10 hp gain (?), so it is possible. It has to help.
Check your 0-60 time.
