I was just asked last Min to fly in and out for a couple of meetings with Racing Brass to finalize next years projects.
Next year should be interesting.

Yeah someone will need to test this. Manufacturer dyno tests are just about the most worthless documentation they can provide.

the only valid test is to dyno the aftermarket unit first, the put back the stock unit. Basically all OEM engines built will make slightly more free load HP if slightly leaner from OEM calibration. My 02. You just have to ready sledge's complete x2 review and you will know all you need to know.

Did the same with the GM Performance CAI and ended up getting Cold Air Inductions which GM essentially used as their model with a tune.

January Sounds about right. We have been running a parallel program developing the LT-1 and LT-4 for the ZL-1 using the same airbox. We never rush out product, especially when a modified stock airbox can outperform the current crop of Cold air intakes that we tested on both LT-1 and LT-4 cars.
Production Tools /Production parts Guys and Girls. We are just making the final machining tweaks before we turn it loose to run full production. Steel injection mold tooling takes time to machine.
The Patient will be rewarded with Quality and Performance that exceeds expectation.
We should have your update up by Sat afternoon.

Can’t believe nobody is taking advantage of bringing in air through the upper grill. You can take it direct to the air box. So obvious. Me and several others have made scoops ourselves. And got legit gains

VR... do you have any plans to incorporate such an idea with your cai? I would love to have a cleaner option bolt in and go than my home made option. And I’m sure you guys coukd design a more optimal scoop etc
