Halltech

Sent by a much better photographer than me: He installed the intake without our installation instructions, now available.

A cardiologist may be able to pay $$$$$ for it. What do you have available for us
retired folks....

I believe the next non-CF variation is nearly complete. That version will cost significantly less from earlier indications.

Halltech

We are working on the roto version. Had a setback on our Rapid Prototype model cracking at the MAF mount. Hey, only $1200 for a new model.

As soon as we get our model complete, the mold will go into production.

We are looking at the end of Feb.

$499 retail.

Halltech

Yep.

any difference in gains with the CF and non CF intake?

Theta

The CF may offer slightly cooler IATs from the material heat soak differences.

Halltech

We are going to use a special Nylon/Poly mix for better heat resistance, but nothing compares to Carbon Fiber, with Nomex III cloth as sandwich meat. Our IATs ran +3 to 4 Degrees F vs ambient for the entire trip from Wisconsin to Michigan. Typically, stock is +10 F vs. ambient.

That will not account for much horsepower (.5%), but we just got numbers in from Vengeance Racing tonight which will turn some heads. I will let Ron or Kevin announce them.

Other than the material, and slightly better IATs with the Nomex III, the power will be the same.

That is one bad a$$ looking intake!

Very nice Jim! What are the results from Vengence? I haven't seen their post.

Halltech

I'll let them announce results after they retune it. Their car was fitting with a cam and headers, so our intake made a huge difference over the stock airplug, since the synergistic demand for more airflow was huge.

So far, we have seen three stock C7s gain 9 RWHP/6lb-ft, just simple bolt on results, with no tuning of any kind. Katech, Halltech, and Texas Speed.

Katech's C7 and our C7 went to 14 RWHP/9lb-ft with Katech's tuner just touching up the MAF tables only.

Katech did 555 HP (preliminary) on the engine dyno with our prototype intake, headers and their new cam. and will be retesting the production version soon.

Vengeance did better than we expected without retuning. Waiting for their final numbers.

Halltech

After 2 more Stingers shipping Monday to Geiger Cars in Germany, we are caught up on backorders.

Jim, The CF unit is gorgeous. I love your approach and products and plan to be a customer when I get a C7. I have a question about tested results. Now the results you cite are without a tune- which is great because tons of your customers will get exactly what was tested when they bolt on the product. Do you have any results you can share where the A/F is normalized/tuned with the intake to match the bone stock WOT A/F ? I just want to know if/what of the pickup is due to a slight lean-out of the A/F. That all said, I'd buy based on the heat soak prevention alone.

The 14 RWHP is actually bringing back some of the leaning out; the opposite of what you might think.

We actually do not affect closed loop fuel trims differently than stock. MAF translation is perfect. Timing stays steady with our intake, with no knock retard at all even though open loop leans out slightly.

+9 to 10 RWHP can be taken to the bank on the stock motor, with no mods or tuning at all. Getting the air fuel ratio to best power through simple MAF correction methods puts down +14RWHP 9lb-ft.

Invite us to the party where Mr. headers and Mr. cam are dancing and we move onto the dance floor with +19 RWHP +21lbs ft. without retuning anything.

Very nice Jim, looks great.

Just finished instillation of the CKN unit by Halltech and since I don't have access to a dyno for now I have to take their word for the gains. What I can attest to is that the unit is absolutely gorgeous and fit is first class. Did the instillation without instructions, that's how easy it was. By the time I rerouted the radiator overflow lines and installed the unit it took a little over an hour. Of course I also was enjoying a cigar and some scotch, negate the last two and instillation should be 30 minutes or so. Jim has already posted some of my pictures. I would highly recommend this beautiful and functional work of art. Halltech has been extremely supportive and without hesitation answered any and all my questions. I will do a tune as soon as I can. Any questions feel free to email me.

Hopefully a mail-order tune from a company like Pfadt can compensate for the new Halltech piece.

Halltech

It really needs no compensation. Last mod to the Vengeance party gained +19 RWHP +21lb-ft torque, without any change in programming:

Didn't realize Haltech was in Wisconsin, I have a Z51 on order. I am looking to get max gains without touching the ECU to maintain the factory warranty, so headers and intake are on my short list. Is it your contention that the car adapts without software for better breathing on the intake and exhaust and doesn't go lean?
