I think whichever system you decide upon will make you very happy. Vortex, Haltech, MTI are all bottom breathers. Anyone of these systems will wake your Z up. As far as which is better?? I doubt if there is more than a couple horsies difference.
The TRIC system is definitely a first class looking system, but its a little pricey. I chose the Vortex because I thought I was getting the same bang for less bucks.
And on top of that, everytime I get a go-fast mod, the wife wants one too.

I run the Donaldson and cold air cover from TPIS on mine. DRM had good dyno results with this setup on my car. Stick with it and get the cold air cover (only about $70). You'll make every bit of the power that the Tric and Vortex make, maybe even more as the Donaldson flows the most air, at least that's what I've read.

Looking to purchase a second set of wheels so I can swap out street vs AutoX tires, but I'm uncertain how the clearance / fitment will work with C6 Z06 brake assembly. Can I still run C5 Z06 OEM? Do I move to C6 Z06 OEM? Other?

Looking at a set of new lug nuts, but the seller asked me what the "thread pitch" is (i.e, 1.25" or 1.5"). I have no idea what this is. Do any of you know what the thread pitch is for our lug nuts?

While at the track (first outing in 2019), my brake pedal began to go deeper in the stroke and approached the firewall. I’ve done the obligatory flush (5 liters of DOT4 using GM Tech2) which allowed me to complete one day of a two day autocross. I have replaced master cylinder TWICE with no...
