Cold Air Intake for my 2006 SS
So, I got the intake from Cold Air inductions (have not put it in yet though)... my next question: is it true that you will not notice much of a difference from the intake unless a custom tune is done?
I seen this comment over at the ls1tech forums. (Discussing HP gains with an intake)

"then your tuner is full of it, you will see MAYBE 5 or 6 horse from a K@n 10 to 12 horse from a Cold Air Inductions box. I have dyno sheets to support my claims if interested. Also these gains will only been seen AFTER you are tuned. Any Cold Air Intake may actually hurt your performance before ECM tuning. As far as exhaust goes I vote for a hogan DP (get the cat-less if you never plan of selling your car back to a dealer) and either a custom 3 inch or magnaflow exhaust. With the Cold Air Inductions intake, a catted hogan DP, a magnaflow cat back and a tune I put down around 270 horse and 280 tq through the wheels. Again if you want to see the dyno sheets P/M me."
