I need you're help guys! I purchased an SLP Performance cold air-intake system complete for my 2000 Camaro Z28 5.7L V8 Automatic. I need a good knowledgeable shop to redo it all over again because the guy I hired to help me was a real amerture. I need someone who knows what the hell there doing please. Is there a mod shop in Tampa, FL anywhere that can redo it for me for a fair price? It's already installed but extremely half ass. The guy I paid didn't even do the cutting or proper adjustments as noted in the SLP Performance install directions right here> http://www.slponline.com/inst/21046.pdf

Here's the pictures of the items that need installed...




Please give me the right advice as this needs to be installed a/sap! Thank you!

Rev Xtreme
However, that is not a difficult install. You could easily do it yourself with a hacksaw.

Great! I have an appt. with Rev Xtreme on Monday. They also said I should do the complete dyno tuning on my car. Is that really going to help at all? And can it be done cheaper then $349.99? because that's the price I was given. Is there another shop closer in Tampa just for Dino tuning?

It is not necessary, but you will pickup 20 hp. I had my car dyno tuned at RevExtreme by Jeremy. It is an LT1, but I picked up 18 hp to the tires. I still have my Hypertech programmer that only gave my 2. I paid $475 but was also on the dyno for 2.5 hrs.

whoa whoa whoa.... first of all, this is an EASYYY install. Hardest part is putting the FTRA kit, but I was able to do it with a little help. It is ABSOLUTELY not a $349 job. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Second of all, do NOT get a dyno tune now. I don't know why they would tell you to do that -- there was nothing done that warrants a full dyno tune. Only thing that would cause you to need a tune is the MAF, but not a full dyno tune.. Just some adjustments to the A/F or you will run too lean.

Shoot me a PM and I will help you out... But please, do not go there for $349 lol. That's WAYYY overpriced.

$349 isn't just for the parts install is it?? I thought it included the install and a full tune and dyno time. I don't think $349 is a bad price if it all inclusive, and I say do it. I agree the cai and maf install is simple, but the dyno tune would be the majority of the $349. Plus you will pick up close to 20 hp on top of what the cai and maf give you.

M-Ten

Nah he won't gain 20HP from a tune, on TOP of what he did. Maybe 20HP total.. but no need to spend that much on a full dyno tune when it's not necessary yet.. Save that money for a full tune until you put a cam in or something.

M-Ten,
Every car is different, you may be right. He may only pickup 15hp on top of the kit. I just know what I have seen and Jeremy Formato Fasterproms - Independent LSX Tuner & Porter for 94-08 GM Vehicles picked up just below 20 on my LT1 and almost 30 on my LQ4. He said that if I bring in the my father-in-law's LS6 he could get over 20.
