i know this has probably been asked and answered a million times but i just want a straight answer.

I would like to put a Cold Air Intake on my 08 SS 5-speed and i kinda want a BOV

Questions:

Do i need a tune?

Can i get a BOV?

Does anyone have K&N CAI for their SS?

Does anyone have a BOV for their SS?

Thanks, Mike

thank you very much, i see you have the GM Turbo Upgrade, is that really worth the 500$ for it? its just so expensive, and im sorry if i keep asking stupid questions but what about the IC piping, what is the upside to that? what are some really good upgrades that i can do to mine, I NEED MORE POWER!!! hahaha

 

check the classified section for a good deal on a k&n kit...all mods need the benefit of a tune to see their full potential...especially something that is going to effect your maf readings...you can run a bov if you want, relocating the maf to the lower charge pipe helps with tuning, although some have had success leaving in the air intake pipe.

 

the GM stage kit is not worth it imo...500 bucks plus 150-200 for installation. Buy hp tuners for 500 and have someone tune it for you for 200-300 bucks......you will make WAY more power....30-40hp over the stg kit with a catless downpipe is not unheard of.

catless downpipe is one of the best upgrades you can do besides a tune. add a more efficient intercooler, ic piping, the k&n kit would be good.

the upside to ic piping you ask......


........it prevents this from happening

 

If you can get the stg1 for 500 do it but you can retune with trifecta for less you wont believe what 25lbs of boost feels like. However once you start you will want more stuff, like good piping and a intercooler without plastic parts, the list goes on and on,but each upgrade I've done has improved the performance markedly. Happy modding

 

damn, well what does it take to tune it?

 

well do i need to do anything if i want to change the IC piping? tune, i want to do mods that will give me power but i dont want to murder it just yet haha, wouldnt a catless downpipe be loud as hell

 

no but this is a little louder

 

holy crap!! what happened!?
