has any installed the SLP cold air induction(model 21033 )? I have a 99 z28 and was wodering if there is any noticable differance or if i shoudl just plainly stay away from this product thanks. I was also looking into the GRANATELLI Cold Air Intake Lid for F-Body Chevrolets. If any one was any info. on either of these products please let me know.

Thanks

 

lids are basically a #1 mod for these cars...

the SLP cai is not very good.

look for the super sucker ram air or SSRA, www.lmperformance.com has them.

they are a MUCH better system.

do a search for SSRA, and for Lid for that matter...SEARCH is your friend. welcome to the board

 

funny you ask this question, i just installed this mod last night, to be honest with you i feel only a slight difference...the car is a little louder and a little more reponsive...i didnt do the cold air with it...i did a bunch of research and found it to be inconclusive many people say..."oh yeah definatly worth it" but it might gain you like 1 hp or something and not worth the additional cost. I know these cars love cold air and a lot of it...but tiny little mods like that arent gonna make your car that much faster.

 

I installed the slp cai on my car but I also added the slp lid as well that I bought off of the forums here. What teke184 says is true when you compare this system to the ssra but they both offer the same amount of increase at low speeds and where the ssra is better then slp cai/ftra (Fast Toys Ram Air) is at high speeds like 65 + because the ssra has the scoop sitting under the nose of the car where as the slp cai, actually gets the air from underneath in front of the radiator/ac condensor. One thing that I would be afraid of with the ssra is since my car scrapes on a lot of driveways, how would that ssra actually hold up? That is why I chose the slp cai and plus with the sotp feel that I gained flooring my car while doing 40 - 90 rear wheels break loose (Firestone Firehawks SZ50s). I recommend the slp cai, however, I can see that the ssra is better.

That was my only hangup with the SSRA too, the clearance of the scoop, but upon seing a few pictures of the installation, apparently the scoop sits higher than the plastic black lip on our cars by a good 2 inches or more. It also tucks up quite nicely under the bumper, so only speed bumps that hit your lip would hit scoop it looks like. Anyone else have any info on clearance?
