Default What intake to go with for a 02 Z06 ?

I really dont know whats out there as I own a 2002 SS but this is for my friend who owns a Z06. He is ready to buy an intake and the air bridge. He is looking for the one who gives the most power.

F.A.S.T. 90/90 would be the best, but the difference isnt worth it unless its cammed or FIor something more than bolt-ons.

The Halltech Stinger is a great deal for the price. Get the filter, bridge and smooth coupler for about 240.

From a sponsor ?
I heard him tell me that the Raptor is very good, and this is actually what he wanted to get.

your not going to get much sotp feel from any cai... infact your friend may become accustom to the difference after 5 minutes. whats his goal for the car? it helps to know what your cars going to end up like so you dont buy parts you wont need when you reach your goal.

on motor or with a power adder(nitrous, supercharger, turbo). dont buy some cai and then take it off cause you cant use it with your turbo kit... if your friend wants to throw money away tell him to put in an envelope and send it my way

Callaway Honker. Ask the guys on Corvetteforum. There is a reason MTI and Lingenfelter have similar designs for their CAIs.

Turbo-zone also is now using Raptor Products on the N/A C5's that we tune and also will be using a new Raptor filter on our turbo kits. If you have any questions PM us.
