I wanted to run a couple things pass you folks. I want to replace my stock air filter & increase air flow. So. . . My options are:
1. Callaway Honker for the LS1,they tout a 26% increase air flow over the stock assembly, and they too, do not disturb anything other than the stock air filter housing ?
2. Halltech C5 Venom II, they say their system outflows any intake on the Market ? I like it because it really doesn't disturb any of the air intake system other than the filter and related housing ? the air bridge is either kept of another larger air bridge is another $275.00 ?
I know you all have your favorite, but my goal is to just "Improve air intake" as it pertains to having the car 'dyno-tuned' by a professional tuner with 17 years experence. I myself, don't really get on it much, Car has 14K miles and I'm planing to have a Dyno tune to get a few things 'tweeked' but I'm 60 so I really don't need to go over board with speed, just better pedal response, better air flow, smoother performance. So I narrowed it to the two above.
I looked at a whole slew of intakes till I was seeing them when I fell asleep. The 'Blackwing was nice, about half the price, but there's a lot of 'Relocation' work. (Another goal I wanted is a 'stock looking' engine bay)
I really discounted the VaraRam system as it's too complicted and if I read one horror story of an idiot running through deep standing water, I've read about a dozen where the enging is ruined with Hydrolocked.
I don't like the K&N system as again it involves moving the MAF sensor and if nothing else, it's UGLY. There are a couple of more C5 systems but I didn't like them. Now the Callaway Honker high flowand the Halltech Venom systems are about the same price $500.00 so price isn't really an issue. I just wondering about any of your experiences with the Callawaty against the Halltech system, you know Pro Vs Con sort of wringing out. I should mention I'm a NCRS type, so I like to keep things looking as stock as possible. Thank you !
