debating on going with the CAI from SLP or just getting me a FIPK from K&N...which is best bang for the buck? and which is preferred for you LS1 guys?

 

Lid.. SLP lid is the better flowing lid. There IS a 90mm lid out there.


FIPK is a dyno mod.. Only produces "better" numbers on a dyno. Otherwise sucks hot air, but looks really nice, I do say.

 

Any lid and an SSRA (Super Sucker Ram Air)

 

I've got the FIPK and I'd have to also say to just get a lid. Lots cheaper.

The FIPK comes w/ a new support that you can cut a slot into so cold air comes from the air dam (same as the free mod done on the regular support), but you're still getting some air from the engine compartment. Plus my air filter gets really dirty on the bottom side now.

I'll be modifying it soon so it's sealed off from the engine bay and maybe post pics when I'm done. Should be fun and will look impressive, but even then I doubt it will be any better than an aftermarket lid w/ a high flow filter and a slot for extra flow.

 

well I have a G2 lid right now made by g2 lid right now with K&N filter just waiting for my bellow to come in and was thinking of the CAI route and then upgrading the throttlebody to a 85mm then eventually the injector right

 

Bellows are a waste of money.
Injectors aren't needed 'till you up the power a LOT, meaning agressive cam or heads cam.

 

well I wanted the bellows for the smoother look, injectors are a play because I will eventually get heads.
GM hot cam just came in 218/227 int/exh @ 0.05" duration 0.525" / 0.525" int/exh lift 112 LSA. and plenty more to go.

 

debating on getting rid of the hot cam and maybe running another set of cams...something very street and can pass CA sniffer....what are the options CA members input would be nice.

 

Another set of cams?

 

yeah something more aggressive that will pass the CA sniffer also lol

 

LOL what i meant by that was you said another SET of cams! when we only have one! Just messin with ya! I know you didnt mean that for real! RIGHT?

 

lol of course not I mean a DOHC v8 with V-tech would be a beast!! but GM isnt ready

 

V-Tech LMAO

 

LS6 heads and cam pass CA smog. mine just did. blew nice and clean-a little high on the NOx, but WELL within tolerance.

 

Alright Cool nice to know thanks alot! that helps big time.
