My first mod is on order, supposed to be made this week and shipping next. They claim (w/dyno results) +18whp/+22wtq!

Not that the car needs it at all...just got too good of a deal to pass up

 

Universal performance chip FTW!

 

false!

A real part from a reputable company (had something of theirs on my X in fact) with actual R&D to back it

 

UH OH!!! I couldn't resist! AFE just came out with their new Momentum Cold Air Intake System for the C7 that has shown great results (+18whp/+22wtq) and offered it at a group-buy price below dealer-cost, plus threw in a 2nd filter and cleaning kit for me.

I'm unsure when I want to install it, and which filter to use first. I'm leaning towards the Pro5R (blue oiled cotton filter) first then the ProDryS (white dry synthetic filter) once the 5R gets dirty and needs a cleaning.





It's tough to tell from the pictures, but the filters are HUGE! This is probably the nicest intake kit I've ever seen for a car, you can definitely tell a lot of engineering and R&D went into the design of it.

Got a "thank you" gift from Chevy yesterday...didn't know it was coming, a FedEx box just showed up!

 

Very nice indeed of them. Intake installed? Did you feel an immediate difference.

 

Intake is not yet installed. I have a club cruise then a roadtrip coming up within the next few weeks and I want to do them both in stock form so I can get a really good feel for the car before changing anything.

 

You know, you live very close to LG. I'm sure they'd love to help you spend some money.

 

How are these holding up to serious track abuse?

In for the results!

 

Very nice! Sad to see the X go, but the new car is looking awesome.

 

I'm sure they would! Right now on their Facebook page they're tempting me with Procharger install pictures and results
I've yet to hear of anyone breaking the car due to track use yet. Hell, even the stock clutch seems to be very stout! For track use you will definitely want the Z51 package for, if nothing else, the extra cooling capacity.
It's in good hands so don't be sad! Shawn is a great guy and knows how to treat a car.

 

Woo woo! LG is good people. I'm excited that they'll have their AWD dyno running shortly. We should get NTEC to go help break it in. I'm sure they'd let you bring your new toy, too.

 

They didn't do too bad in their 24 hour test session in the north of France on Saturday.

 

True!!!

 

Below are my baseline results from yesterday. Bone stock, 7k miles:





386whp/406wtq
WHP is just a touch lower than I was expecting, but WTQ is about what I figured. For comparison, stock C7's are putting down 410-420whp on Dynojets.
