So what do you modifiers think of the redesign on the intake port on the airbox. From the looks of it, the area has been increased significantly (~4X) compared to the 2001 design.

I'm thinking just a drop in K&N filter and it's probably a pretty good setup. What do you guys think?

ZeeOhSix:

I like the revised air filter cover and have seen it during a preview of the new Z06. This cover will fit the '01 air box housing, and as soon as my new one arrives, I will post the GM part number so any one can buy it from their dealer. Hope this helps.

Anyone know if the K&N for the C5 will be the same for the 2002 Z06? I'm assuming that only the airbox cover has been opened up, and that the filter is still the same??

According to the GM Z06 engineer we had at our meeting last month, the new air box opening was worth almost 2 hp. Another 2-3 hp could be gained by removing the MAS screen

I think the new airbox is a definite improvement, but still not gonna be as effective as installing one of the cold air rammers from Vortex/Halltech.

I get my '02 at BG next week, and will probably have Ernie install a Vortex while I am at Carlisle on 8/25. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Another area I want to address pretty quickly is changing the t-stat and having the fans turn on more quickly. These cars run too hot, just like my C4s did - significant hit on power...

Why buy a 2002 air box when an aftermarket conular unit is by far superior???? I have a twin flow intake it I could immediately notice the power and sound difference.The 2002 is only a hair better than the 2001. An aftermarket peice is 10 fold better. Just my opinion.

Cold air is definitely the way to go however its not the only way. some people are funny about after market mods and feel a certain comfort with factory goodies. I think the 02 air box /screen removal and K&N will give you an added kick if you want to stay on the conservative side. If you want to get radical, pop in one of the many cold air systems that are available. Its all a matter of what you are comfortable spending and doing to your car.
If Halltech wants to send me all of those extra air boxes that will be cluttering up his shop I would love to sell them at discount prices to the conservative side /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I don't mind spending money on mod's. I do have a problem spending on after market systems that increce posible water problems. Thats why I tryed a cut open lid found .1-.5mph improvement and went back to the safety of the stock lid. Think I have to have one of those 02 lids. Each to his own. Ric
