Pod filter on otherwise standard LS1 will generally lose horsepower.
Tuned for pod or mafless tune and pod will work well.

Never had a pod filter, went straight to a OTR, loving it :xmas:

Air pods are good as long as the engine heat is no getting in the pod, then it may decrease the engines power...

just keep your pod away from engine heat...i believe the air chargers work fine if your not chasing huge numbers and are better than the stock set up. Are they the best? no. Are they better? yes.

Give Powertorque (Brendale) a call and they will sort out the tune for you. Well worth the two hour trip. ph38812379
