pokerpro - LOVE your engine appearance mods you made. Are those covers you purchased to go over the stock parts, or did you remove the stock parts and get them painted? And where did you get the decals for the fuse box and the engine covers?

Thanks.

Ran a Halltech on my Z. Great set-up.

Have a Callaway on my Callaway GS; seems to work well.

Honker. My '08 went from 444 RWHP to 503 RWHP with just the Honker and a tune.

Between those two...I would go with the Calloway. Don't believe in the 'ram air' stuff, but both will give you fresh air.
I have the KillerB.

There was minimal change in "feel" because we're only talking 5-10rwhp difference, and when you're running 550+ rwhp, you aren't going to feel much on street tires. The Callaway dropped the summer coolant temps more than 20 degrees on average. Now I rarely see it over 210 even with spirited driving. Average is around 190-200.
I know how hot texas is and so far here in traffic 220 but tuner said its normal .I will need a good reason to switch.So far its crazy fast.235 would do it though.

Does the KillerB require a tune?

I think that some of the CAI's do.

Thanks!

We've had a lot of success with the Corsa CF air-intake and the Halltech units. Both make great power with the stock throttle body. We usually lean towards the Halltech for the NW102 TB's though.

Good luck with your decision!
