I know there are several intake threads around here but none of them seemed to really answer my questions. Its seems like alot of you guys are running the AFE stage 2. Does anyone swear against the AFE, K&N, or air raid systems? What do you guys think the best system is.

REduramax,

DPPI ONLY sells the AFE Pro Guard 7 as it's the only filter to improve flow but not sacrifice filtration quality. Check the site there is a BIG site sponsored filter test that will tell you all you wanted to knwo about which filters stop the dirt and which ones dodn't. Call us if you have any questions etc.

By the way you didn't mention which engine you had LB7 or LLY, but AFE contacted us about the metal intake tube Stage II Pro Guard 7 intakes for the LB7's, they sold us the last of what they had last month, at least they thought they did, they found some more of them and we got them at a real deep discount as compared to the normal MAP prices and we are passing that savings on to site members. Check our site for pricing or call us at the office.

I second the Stock Paper and Swis s cheese the airbox. Read that thread. AC Delco paper filtered better than any other.

Does the stock intake flow enough air for other mods, edge juice in particular?

In reading other threads -- people say they don't gain any speed or power from having an aftermarket intake. Do a search.

Most of the after market intake tubes are larger than the stock. So more air flowing in....more air the better IMO. So I rigged up a homemade ram air system to my VOLANT box, which already had a inlet hole on the box of their box. Here is that setup:
