Sal, can't wait to see pictures and how it feels. What is the PN?
I'll let you know how it works out not sure when I'll have time to get to it. I'll get you the link to the part numbers

This has the parts needed I'll have to look up part numbers
Roughly what did it cost for all the parts you need, if you don't mind me asking?
The link posted has all the parts at ~$900 GM list.
Oh thanks, my bad. And he says between 6-700 depending on the dealer, which might be a stretch.

Personally, I plan to go with a stage 3 port job on my manifold and a black ice-olator, and all that together will cost about $500. I am curious how the benefits would compare.

I can only say alot less then any price I have seen. I work at the dealership. I'd you Google the parts there are places that sell them for good prices

Clearly, the only answer is that you and Sal329 both have to do before-and-after dyno tests. :)
I am actually trying to find a shop with a dyno around me. Does anybody know how to find one?
Not to be a smartass, but Google? "Dyno tuning near ____, VA" or "chassis dyno near ____, VA". Or ask the various employees at your local Autozone/Advance/Pep Boys/whatever. Typically some of them are gearheads (not just working there because it's a job that pays them money), so they might know where to go.
I've already tried searching high and low on the internet, and yes my next step was to ask around at those places. I was just wondering if there was a website or something that kept track of them. I won't derail this thread any further.
Last part finally came in. I'm hoping in 3 weeks to get it installed
hi I'm new here, but are you talking about a Camaro intake on a 3.6 cts dohc 24 valve 317 hp engine?
The intake fits a few different 3.6 like the 323 hp 2012+ camaro the 2013 cts

So any news?
Still waiting to get the intake back had to cut it but yet to find a way to plug the hole and still look good I'm hoping soon

Had to cut it? Where? Why? What's the story?



See the loo that comes down hitting the coolant outlet? On the camaro that's a different design. Can't just cut it because it's hollow and would make a big hole there.

Isn't a loo the British term for bathroom? In that case, no, I don't see the loo. :p

It's good that the coolant pipe is hollow. They don't work as well when they're not. Looks like you would need that engine coolant outlet from the Camaro, plus the appropriate rubber hose to join to it. I'm guessing that would add some significant $$$ to the parts cost, as that chunk of cast aluminum won't be cheap.
