nort99 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I just installed a twin air intake. It sure was very tight fit to get it in but all turned out just fine. I got this on E-bay paid $22.00 plus shipping. Yes it is brand new. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Should make the SOTP feel much better. We all know one of the major things missing in these LS1's is air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togo Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 not to rain on your parade, but have you done any before dyno runs?if so, do some after runs - i recall a guy that had a brand new one of those installed on his car and there was a visual drop in HP on the dyno, something about turbulence in the tubing - the 2 openings on the intake were not allowing as much air in as you would think it did.just wanted to let you know that you should do a test to verify you haven't lost any power!oh, BTW, it was at XTREME that i witnessed this - Chad may remember, i think he was there.

Desertdawg Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I was just about ready to order one, I think I'll go back to my first choice, the Hurricane filter from WCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Congrats, thats a GREAT deal. More air in, more air out, more HP! That reminds me, I gotta clean my Halltech's filter before the 19th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chad@AZPS Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Okay now for the party pooper. Sorry but that is the worst kit out there. PERIOD. I am surprised that you do not have a "Check Engine" light on. The air flow is so turbulent as it passes over the MAF that the MAF goes bonkers.Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I asked the question about those a little while ago. All I got was negative feedback.But as long as you are happy and she is running good...like you said, that's all that matters. :D I'm no engineer, but I don't see how that set-up will cause any more turbulance than anything else we install. They all suck air in and down a tube and yours hits the tube before it hits the MAF. My Blackwing now pulls air from all directions (and down a shorter tube at the base) and has to be as turbulant as yours if you ask me.The only reason I passed on those when I was looking was P51tj's comment about the possibility of cheap filter elements.
