Thanks everyone for the imput. I think I will put everything in except the MAF at first, try it out, then put the SLP one in and try it. According to SLP description of it, it helps a lot. We'll see though. Thanks again!

Of course SLP will say it helps a lot. They are trying to sell product. If they say it gave a 10hp increase over the stock one, they might have tested it on a highly modified motor. I doubt they got their increase number from a near stock motor.

I wish I had known all this BEFORE I shelled out the 160 for it.

I'd suggest a Dremmel to do the cutting. The snips may crack the plastic. I learned the hard way. With the new piece the Dremmel made easy and clean work of it.

I'm sorry, you guys have me a little worried. What is this talk about cutting and sniping w/ a new lid!? I am just about to order this and I thought it is a drop in part?

The cutting and snipping is for the cold air induction not the lid. The lid will take 5 minutes to install. Don't worry.

Bauer posted a dyno on ls1tech where they dyno'd a ported TB on a bone stock car and picked up like 8rwhp. Look at a ported one then look at the stock one... its ridiculous.

then why does a stock z06 vette use a 85 mm maf, instead of the stock ones on c5 and f-body, they just have 50 more horsepower, i put slp maf on my 00 ls1 6-speed, and with just that i ran a 12.98 on street tires

Instead of using a sharp awl and hammer to make the hole to mount it can I use a drill?

an ls6 is a little different.it probably is tuned to run with a bigger MAF due to better flowing stock heads.


as was mentioned earlier some people have good results using this and others dont.

Yes, exactly how I did it. Worked well and very quick
