I'm not worried about the clutch, and the diff is supposed to handle up to 600 hp so I'm thinking I should be ok. Knock - knock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZWOW6 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Well I didn't make it out....... I'm frustrated as hell, I installed a cold air kit , and the did the idle re-learn on the car and drove for 35 miles in about a hour. But the car is pinging ! in 2nd and 3rd....I used a GMS maf designed for a cold air kit, because the last time I had the Halltech on I was getting lean codes with the stock maf.Any ideas ?? Not sure what to do.... I did for time sake only installed the top 1/2 of the trap, (cobra to maf to filter).... Maybe I'm getting turbulant air flow installed this way ? Since the filter is right on the maf itself.thanks....wish I could have made it Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 :D Oh the irony. Steve sweats that 'vette for months, and the day he probably hits 11's there's nobody there to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UVETTYA Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hey thanks guys. A friend from work who adores my Vette showed up, so I have a witness to the time slip. And no problem Tom. I had similar problems with my Blackwing when I installed it. I had an air leak after the MAF and that will cause pinging and stalling. Make sure all your connections are good and tight.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZWOW6 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Anyone know where I can get some couplings , for the cold air intake..... There is one I think could be a problem,and doesn't fit the maf to well, but I know this time when I installed the intake I didn't use this coupling. My car has never liked this Halltech for some reason, I went back to stock for now..... Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51tj Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I use the smooth couplers that Mid America and Ecklers sell. No problems, just keept the clamps tight. I also run a Halltech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a smooth coupler too, but it's sitting on the shelf. I tried to mount it to the stock air bridge and tightened the clamp too tight and it collapsed the air bridge and my problem got worse. A new stock air bridge costs $80!! Which is cheaper than a $300 after market air bridge. So my pretty orange coupler sits on the shelf until I can justify $300 for a new air bridge to mount it to.

MOTV8 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ....I've got a stock air bridge sittin' around if you need it. No couplers though. Especially no "pretty orange" ones. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZWOW6 Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Do you guys think I should try the stock maf and the Halltech again ? I have the Halltech and haven't been able to use it, what a waste !I had a GMS maf for my LS1 Firehawk and traded it for the GMS maf for the Z06, the GMS is supposted to be tuned for a cold air system, but I still got the CK engine code. Maybe I need to drive the car alittle easier until the car learns the maf etc. What do you guys think ? I put it on and drove over 30 miles at different speeds and rpms while doing the idle re-learn. I can tell the car seems quicker with the Halltech. I want to use it ! Not sure how to get the car to like it. Jim ,the guy who owns Halltech says to get a newer maf from a 05-06 vette, and the problem will go away. I know most don't like using a aftermarket maf like the GMS, but since I didn't have to re-buy it, i haven't really lost anything trying it. I'm not sure if I should try the GMS again or run the stock maf....... one of them has to work with the Halltech !Which Halltech system are you using p51tj ? Mines a trap system.thanks for any advice guys/galsTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 From what I've learned here recently, stock MAF's are best unless you get a complete dyno tune. All an after market does is lean the engine out. But a lot of the little bolt on mods do. Even with just the cold air intake you might need a quick adjustment tune as well.Talk to Mike at AZP&S. He knows quite a bit more than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
