I did 60-100 mph last night in 5 seconds flat which is a full second faster than it used to take (really fast considering it takes almost a full second for the throttle to open). It went from 65-100 in 4 seconds.
So you've pretty much got an elbow going directly down from the turbo?

What's the part number for the K&N? Short of doing an airbox mod, would you suggest snorkel or no snorkel for max flow when coupled with the K&N? (Getting my pre-tune setup finalized)

If its stainless then $239 is a good price. I seriously doubt the one for $189 was made out of anything other than regular aluminumized steel

K&N drop-in is part #33-2311; picked mine up for about $45.

Props to all the tooners for their efforts. Kind of sheds light on why GM is still working on the Stage II intake. Hopefully the airbox mods will work well with the Stage I.

I logged this on the way home tonight, ZZP snorkeless airbox mod, K&N drop in.
29.1 VE Airflow at the top of 2nd. Got the LTFT's and the top end STFT's pretty close now. Still seeing some KR at lower RPM, high loads.

That's what I did. My LTFT's were only 2% off from stock. Term's were 6% or so. Not enough to throw a code. My STFT's were off 6% or so at WOT, but dialed in ok now.

I've gone K&N for the time being, or at least until all this intake mumbo-jumbo sorts itself out.
