You can adjust the fuel trims by rotating the off center cone filter. IIRC, 12:30-1 o'clock is pretty close to zero LTFT. Someone will correct me. STFT's can always use work with any intake change. You can log yourself right?

No MAF issues when oiled properly.

IDK the hp gains, but it will remove the stock intake restriction.

Thanks..
Off center? Boy, it looked pretty symetrical in the pics. When you say 12:30 orientation..what is the reference point? Is there something on the filter itself? I assume you mean *12:45* ish for optimal?

Just repeating what I read, someone will have to post the reference point. Maybe the seam? Mine's a mafless Dejon & K&N cone so I don't have any 1st hand info for you.

The filter is oval-ish shaped and the opening is off center.

Once I get mine back from powder coat you can check it out sometime

Modern's price looks very good Ron, I think they'll be gone in a hurry. If you want an intake, that's the one to get IMO.

Yeah..damn good price. They say they have HUGE supply now.
My only concern is oil on MAF and having to take it off if I service it under warranty.
I've heard GM isn't taking this mod very *kindly*.

I love mine and my ltft stay around 1.6 not bad.. You have to turn the filter to find the best spot seems like it's different for everyone but you can get it pretty close to zero. I have the superchip tune on my car and wouldn't always break the tires loose in 2nd now it will almost always depending on road. If you don't like the blow off sound i wouldn't get it cause it's pretty loud and can get annoying. I would say that it's the best intake out
