Ugh. That stinks man. I have waited over 2months for mine.   It’s in route Per UPS tracking# and supposed to be here Friday. If this new one is as good as my 18s was. It’s worth the wait.

I did install the Volant. Performance wise it is very close to the RotoFab. I live in Canada so with exchange the Volant is still pretty pricey. But much less than replacing the bottom part of the air box. The performance is good. The fit and finish is good. The pipe is super smooth on the inside, I was worried it wouldn’t be but it is. I wasn’t too worried about the look. I’m not showing my truck.

Install is done. Went ok. The 10mm nut holding intake housing box is kinda a pain. Need a small socket set or wrench. The intake cupler was a pain to get around the intake. Fit and finish is good. 
 

Man does it suck in air. You can definitely hear the difference. If u have an after market exhaust it just enhances it.

I just placed an order for the Cold Air Inductions filter. Saw this video by a guy who installed it in his Trail Boss, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J05bzfs2yTE.

There's another video out there by a guy who did a dyno run with this filter and saw I think 4-5 HP at the rear wheels. Not that impressive, but meh, it's cheap enough and it's something...

 

edit: found the other video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwpDqkqBCNg

Dropped the GM CAI in this morning. Didn’t even take an hour. Very happy with it, and can’t wait to hear it paired with my new catback exhaust, which the Chevy dealer is installing in about an hour. ??

BTW, anyone who installed the GM CAI... did you put those zip ties on that came with it? I didn’t see a need for them and the videos I watched online of other people installing their CAIs didn’t show them putting them on. Just curious.

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall reading somewhere that GM's Performance Intake requires a dealer calibration?

Yes.  It is included with the purchase of the CAI.

Thanks Nick,

That being said, wouldn't any CAI require the same?

    • Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.
    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
