Are we there yet ?

lol, there is a reason I didn’t wait

I remember I was emailing back and forth back in Novemberish of 17 with these guys about this and with Corsa about exhaust with NNP at the same time. They were both going to be done by Jan 18 finally Corsa told me they just decided to scrap the whole idea in mid Jan. and I just gave up waiting for these guys to figure anything out. But I guess they are "still working on it" Don't see how it takes 3 years to make a CAI.

Certainly shouldn’t be holding off on anything while waiting for their upcoming products based on similar posts on other platform forums

Sorry for the delay Guys , we were set to go to the dyno last week and had a delay with the vehicles availability. WE are now set for this weekend if all stays on schedule.
There will be some back to back comparison runs for the dyno junkies , TUNE for TUNE!
We already have a mountain of on road data from this past year of testing that we will show as well.

Many will be glad they waited.
Others will also see why it takes about 1 year on average to design a proper intake ,production tooling and run 12,000 miles of on road testing in different weather and driving conditions.
If speed to end result is your thing , We did produce the COPO's in 30 days , and the super rare factory shootout air-boxes in under 5 days! We just finished designing & manufacturing a new supercharged unit for Gen5 and Gen6 COPO's in under 3 days! Those are all race parts = Zero mass production consideration or a production GM ECM to deal with for those that don't want to have to tune.

Production parts simply take longer , The Long term on road testing is far more involved. Plus, we test all of the goofy mods and our competitions products as well. That's one of the many reasons why we always beat everyone in real world tests.
Another example: The DRX system for 2012-2015's took 1 year as well. To this day, No system can match its power for the LS-3 and the ZL-1 units are full production custom parts, yielding power numbers no one ever expected "OVER" other systems = 30hp+ on some ZL-1's.
Those that have tuned them ,love them because they yield "clean" MAF readings. This makes them super easy to tune for drivability. That allows the tuner or builder to produce a far more radical combination with no loss of drivability.
Your typical cone and pipe setup :
Typical cone filter = 60% pressure drop.
Unsealed plenum assembly = Very little vacuum is pulled from a cold air location. This ='s more heat soaked airflow , usually 16-30+ deg hotter than ambient . ( factory box works far better, usually only 2-4 deg above ambient)
Poor bend angles = Poor flow
Smaller than OEM "ID"= Poor flow volume and a tricked ECM.

If all anyone wanted was a CAI , just keep the stock box,put a high flow filter in it and remove the front grill block-off so it can breath properly.
That combination outperforms most current aftermarket production systems in real world testing.

LT-4 : The LT-4 requires more volume than even the "BIG TUBE" guys can deliver! They are in for a shock!

More detail on this.. ?

So you have a kit for the Magnuson 2650 Copo's? Those 109 TB's are directed right at the radiator where the opening in the hood is.
