Some folks say they can hear a "sucking or hissing" noise....Honestly, I do not notice much of a difference in the sound.

As far as changing from the original Killer Bee to the Killer Bee II...No, my opinion there is not enough differences to make scrapping the first version for the latest. If you did make the swap, nothing would needed to be done with your timing at all...No tune needed.

Of course, this is all assuming your car is an LS3 or Z06...The new killer bee does not work with the LS2 engine unless you get a new MAF and tune...

Thanks,

Jim
Why would an LS2 need a new MAF and a tune? It may be common knowledge but I had assumed the intake part of the engines were the same physical shape/size or at least similar.

Does that mean the placement or size of the LS2 maf is different than the LS3?

Does any intake for an LS2 need a tune?

What makes this intake not need a tune and the others need a tune? Or do other intakes not need a tune either?

...

Lastly I like the heat shield design, is there an LS2 version planned?

Good question.....

the LS2 uses a totally different MAF than the LS3's and LS7's. Change the MAF to the LS3 style MAF and you need to tune it for the new MAF.

No, you do NOT need a tune anytime you change the intake on an LS2, there a several intakes available for the LS2 Engine that use the LS2 MAF. Here is Halltechs version below...

Tune is a misnomer. You must recalibrate your MAF transfer curve, which Halltech does for these conversions. This CAD drawing will give you an idea of what is required to convert over. Your Delphi MAF is completely different than the LS3/LS7/LS9 MAF shown here:



Coincidentally, my best friend Jim Booth let me use his car as the mule for this conversion in early 2006, so it has been available for years and works well. We have one for the C5 as well.

It is impossible to just bolt the Killer Bee to your LS2 with the stock MAF, since it will not physically fit that MAF due to the 102 mm outlet.

Jim sells a bolt on Venom II which utilizes the stock MAF.

Jim,

On the web site it says 'NO TUNING REQUIRED for 2008-Present Corvettes!'. Does this mean a tune is required for an 06-07 Z06?

The MAF sensor used on the 05-07 C6 is the old C5 and truck MAF sensor; if you used the Killer Bee II on an LS2 motor, you must change to the LS3 MAF sensor, wire harness adapter, and recalibration of the MAF tables or the car will not even start.

The alternative is to buy the Venom II for the C6 which is the Killer Bee II bridge, filter and Beehive, but uses the stock MAF sensor at the rear rather than the probe style from the LS3.

I'm still not sure whether or not my 06 Z06 would need a tune, since your response was for an LS2 and of course the Z06 has an LS7.

Yes. The MAF transfer curve must be recalibrated to the new MAF sensor.

Sorry I am confused. So you are saying for an LS7 06-07 does require a tune wiht the Killer BeeII? Your website says just for LS2's C6 a tune is required??

06-2011 Z06 bolt on no tuning required at all.

05-07 LS2 requires the conversion package and MAF recal tuning.

Ok, you told me that I needed a tune for my 06 LS7 Z06, but then you told another person that only an LS2 needs a tune. So do I need a tune for my 06 Z06 LS7 or not?

Issues are rare. Nothing is a 100 percent, but I wouldn't count on any problems. Don't let that potential problem stop you.

I seems I should get some kind of cut from Jim. Don't you think?
