So I just did a track day with 30 minute sessions. It was about 87 degrees out. My intake temps never topped 91 (and my coolant never went above 214). I drive relatively hard for the average track day driver).
I'm not sure how much "colder" a CAI is going to make the air.

4:10 gears
Consider some 4:10 gears when they become available. They make a car feel lighter and more responsive, while leaving the motor stock. Way more fun to drive IMHO. Plus with a M7, you have more than enough overdrive to keep the rpm's low on the highway. I will make that my first mod on my 2017 zo6 M7. I can not wait until they hit the market!

Wow, a little sensitive I see. Lol. Since I've became a member of this site I've gotten some great information from other people and even given some myself. I cant find anyplace where I "flaunted" anything about my car. Maybe next time just don't bother replying to anything I post. I'd rather deal with positive people who aren't so sensitive or so quick to try and critique others. Thanks for the spoonfed info.

2019 C7 GS manual
EOS 1 7/8" Headers ~$600
E85 Kit ~$300
Tony Mamo ported TB $460 (mostly to fix the lazy tip in issue)
Tune - depends on tuner
Stock was 393/372 to 430/430 with ~55% E85 mix.
The above is the "easiest/cheapest bolt ons" you can do that are worth their price of admission. Intake manifolds and giant TB's on a stock motor are not worth the price for the minor gains.
