sorry to make 2 threads in a day, but I got some money, and I got the mod bug!

Anyone care to reccomend a cold air? Is just the whisper lid a good choice, or arre the pricier ones like the K&N FIPK really worth the money.


thanks again in advance all you guru's!

 

I believe whisper style lids dyno around 12rwhp and K&N FIPK dynos 18rwhp on our cars if I remember right. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Whatever the numbers, FIPK is better but over twice the cost.

 

yeah I don't think i can justify twice the cost for 6ish hp, wish I could, but thats not where I'm at heh

 

Personally, I'd just stick with a lid and a paper filter.

LS1s already have a "cold air intake" by design because the intake inlet is far enough away from the engine to grab "cold air" (that's cooler than the air closer to the engine).

 

if you want a true cold air intake for the LS1....go for the SSRA

at slower speeds it is a CAI

at higher speeds it becomes a ramair system
