    Default Will the a STD style airbox flow 270-300rwkw ?

    hey all


    just another quick question,

    as cant seem to get find any direct answer from anyone so thought I would try here haha

    ive got a YT MAF pipe, KN panel filter and chopped the bottom of the factory hsv box out, pretty much like a massive version of the 2 hole mod haha!!

    yes I know bout the sucking in of hot air debate lol

    but with that very basic setup could it flow up 270-300rwkw range??

    or am I going to have to do a OTR ??

    as I cant seriously see why not,

    even if I have to do a port n polish or change my throttle body thats fine (what are the throttle body options everyone has done aswel then if thats what im going to have to do ?)

    as would rather the engine bay looking factory as is the lads in blue decided to have a snoop around for visual aids to help them with giving me a defect lol !!

    as a OTR stands out like dogs balls haha,

    cheers

    buy a CSV OTR, it has the maf meter in the housing and is legal.... cutting your airbox base isnt exactly legal either

    ive got a weird setup that i hvent seen on any other car yet its a pipe pretty much the same as the YT one you have but then i have a VE 100mm maf wired in(so much bigger then the ls1 maf) then the whole corner where the air box normaly is boxed off and is sealed from the heat of the engine then its just a K&N pod style filter... and my car is sitting at 310rwkw... it cost a little extra to get the maf wired in but it is well worth it
    If in doubt......FLOOR IT!!!

    As said here can be done, i'll be going an otrcai but if you go on the american forums there all running similar figures and more and large majority if not all have the maf still, usually a 90-100 maf.
