    If you ever had to ask yourself the question of "how do I install a cold air intake on my 2016+ V6 Camaro, the above video is an awesome walk through for what is involved (which isn't much). It is very simple and easy to do and is a great first mod for you to get your hands dirty in your engine bay as you get familiar with modding.

    Grabbed me an intake from aFe power for a good price, dropped my 0-60 speed by just about half a second. My brother is a diesel mechanic and I have basically no experience but we got it installed pretty quick.

      Nice- how did you measure that it dropped a half second? That seems like quite a bit for an intake?

        Using the built in timer, stock the lowest I had run was a 5.4. After installing it I ran the car a few hours to let the system adjust, and timed it again at a 5.1 second. This is all with no tune also, I'd like to get one but my car is still under warranty and I don't want to give service departments too many reasons to turn me away lol.

          not bad! now was this in the same type of weather conditions or was it much warmer out when you got that 5.4 last time? I ask because I know the weather does play a factor into things. In racing there is a thing called density altitude and humidity can really play havoc on your times.

          It's why some folks will run in fall and have great times, make 1-2 changes and run in the dead heat of summer and actually be slower and be dumbfounded as a result.
