My car -

08 SS with 35k miles
HP tune from Race Proven Motorsports
ZZP catless downpipe
ZZP intercooler
ZZP charges pipes
ZZP silicone intake tube
K+N drop in filter
.030 welding tip (aka pill mod) with reduced DAL to try and calm the boost spike.

The car is on a dynojet using SAE with smoothness of 5. All runs were done in 3rd gear.



The first pull is with the stock air intake tube in place and the air box snorkle off the car. The 2nd pull is with the zzp intake tube and the snorkle added back on the stock air box.

I'm more than happy with the intake tube as it's a pretty cheap upgrade and was worth close to 15whp and 15wtq after the peak numbers. The car is only running 10-12 degrees of timing down low with 14 degrees up top. Air intake temps were perfect run after run and the car was very repeatable.

Previous runs on the same dyno...

Stock 243whp and 234wtq - 13.5 at 104mph
HP Tune and K+N drop in - 291whp and 311wtq - 13.43 at 110.0mph
ZZP downpipe, charge piping, and intercooler plus welding tip mod - 310whp 366wtq
ZZP intake tube - 318whp 364wtq

This car has turned out to be one hell of a daily driver

very good numbers and I am glad to know people are buying this.
The power band looks way better

not bad for under 100 bucks

fuel trims?

To be honest I cannot answer that. My car is an 08 without the rpd so i've never really paid attention nor have I had any problems.

Very nice

I know you need to get a tune with it then after the tune its spot on! I dont know what it is but I think Matt said it was -3 before the tune idk I just think thats what he said

Matt M

Thanks for posting the results. It's nice to see our gains backed up in the field.

A retune is not required with this intake tube. The MAF tube is still the same and nothing is changed until further down-stream so the MAF readings are barely altered if at all.

4th in a 3.82 LNF winds out at a pretty high speed. We use 3rd gear as well.

Snorkle was intact on second pull-was this an unmodified snorkle?
Also was this recommended by ZZP? Thanks.

first pull was the lower air box open with no silencer. The second pull had the snorkle attached to the lower section of the box

would this be ok to run on a untunted ss/tc with a catless downpipe? i plan on getting a tune just dont know what tune yet thinking about the zzp one so i can keep my stock computer

beast10007

matt from zzp a few post up said that you do not need a tune

vahdyx

I recommend ZZP because it's faster than GMS1 and it's better than superchips or BSR.

It allows you to swap ecu and it's safe.

he said it wouldnt require a retune he didnt say it wouldnt require a tune

Matt M

A tune is not required to run this intake tube, but I would always recommend a tune as one of the first mods either way.

yea i have catless downpipe right now getting exhaust next and then was thinking about this and a tune and snorkel mod since i dont play on getting an intake anytime soon
how much does the zzp tune cost without sending the ecu in first? i didnt see a price online

vahdyx

iTrader: (7)

its $200 if you get a ecu and don't keep it. if you choose to keep the ecu its $475

iTrader: (1)

oh ok not bad what did you do? cause i want an extra so i can change it back if i go to the dealer lol

vahdyx

iTrader: (7)

Well my situation is a little bit different. I bought a ecu with Trifecta and byt combo tune and made the mistake of sending it in to zzp. Maybe not mistake because I am happy with my zzp tune but I hear that the tune was powerful and great and sometimes I feel like I made a mistake.

Anyway im happy with my tune and I have a spare pcm so im not worried about it. I recommend getting the spare pcm. I have a spare and the few others here with zzp did the same.

I can't imagine you not being happy with it.

yea im still deciding need my exhaust first and figure out what else i want before i get tune dont wanna get intake or ic piping i want my engine bay to look stock cops are dicks in cali lol

vahdyx

iTrader: (7)

oh then for sure get the tune, the difference between stock and zzp for me was unreal. Get the intake tube as well and your engine bay will look stock to anyone not familiar with the platform. I'd even say that zzp cp looks pretty stock too.

"Unmodified snorkle"-one that hasn't had the narrow section replaced by a coupler ala the original ZZP mod
I have one of the AEM elbows and may consider an upgrade if I can determine what combination of elbow/filter/snorkle works best with GMS1/dp. Noticed you reinstalled snorkle and was curious why. I've heard it helps produce better MAF readings(air straightener) and w/o a custom tune or scanning device I'm inclined to leave it alone-seems to be working for you.
