Question Bellow/CAI/LM

Prob going to order the LS-1 motorsports lid + Filter from Q-mile Perf.
75+50$$. Looks to be the best deal. Now i have a few ?'s...

1.) Out of the CAIs availible for us 2000 z-28 guys, which way would you go, ftra, ssra, or the slp? One is 199, the other 169 and the other 139. Anybody know which flows best, or best bang for the buck?

2.) Which bellow should i go w/ the direct flow one from Q-mile Perf, or the SLP one? (mind you, its for a 2000 z-28).

3.)I found a place to get the full SLP "LoudMouth" Catback w/ 3.5 Slashcut tips, for 309.99+40 for shipping. Anybody know of any better deals out there for a brand new kit like this one?

1) FTRA or the SSRA (newer Austin version).
2) Bellow mods haven't proven much gain.

I picked up the SLP CAI from Stealth. Seems like a well made item.

Umm... would that $50 filter be the one GM sez not
to use, or they won't honor yout warranty? 'Cause
any regular filter will be plenty good enough and
about 4 bucks.

Just get the lid.

Of the CAI options, any -but- the stainless SLP if
what you're after is minimum inlet air temps.

1.) Its not worth the 50 bucks to get K&N??
2.) What im after is the max gains/flow from my cai. So your saying the SLP one is no good?

1.) No I dont think the $50 is worth it for a K&N. I have one but it came with my lid. Just use a paper one.
2.) Bellows dont improve flow that much at all and if you really want them just go to Home Depot and get you a 3by3 fernco tube.

There's nothin' wrong with the K&N.
Just switch it out before going to the dealer. 1 minute of your time.
