Gain Up To 31 HP In Your ZL1 With K&N’s Carbon Fiber Intake Kit

The Camaro ZL1 has quickly made a name for itself in the last year and a half in the performance community. Being the first factory supercharged Camaro ever produced my GM will have that effect. Enthusiasts have been buying them up, and modifying them to the point that a new GT500 looks like a tame little pony in comparison. 

Helping those enthusiasts along the way is K&N Filters, with products like their new carbon fiber intake system for the blown Camaro. According to the official press release from K&N below, it’s good for a up to 31 horsepower gain. 

Official Release:

K&N Carbon Fiber Intake System for 2012-2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 – Gains Estimated at 31 Horsepower

The muscle car war is back!  The era of powerful cars accelerating from stop to cruising speed has come full swing with the three big power houses laying down rubber with massive horsepower and great handling muscle cars based on their legendary late 60’s predecessors.  Dodge with the massive 6.4 liter Challenger, Ford with their mind boggling 650 horsepower GT500 and Chevrolet with the already legendary Camaro ZL1. All of these cars are impressive in their own rights but for Chevy fans all over the world, the rivalry with the Mustang is a long and arduous one that has brought out the best in both.

The Camaro SS was already a formidable muscle car with the powerful 6.2 liter V8 churning out 425 horsepower, but Camaro fans wanted more.  Not wanting to sell their first born for the most powerful production Corvette, the ZR1, Camaro fans got their wish when GM’s performance division transplanted a version of the LSA into the Camaro.  That’s when the Chevy Camaro ZL1 was born.  Producing a Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar Gen 2 tire shredding 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft of torque, the Camaro ZL1 is not only a thrill to drive but also super car worthy competitor.  With magnetically controlled suspension and power like this, what more could ZL1 owner’s ask for?

K&N has decided to squeeze more horsepower out of the already potent LSA motor by replacing the restrictive stock intake system with a high performance, free flowing air intake system. K&N’s 63-3079 is made almost completely out of light weight super strong carbon fiber. The air intake system not only looks the part but acts the part as well.  What Chevy Camaro ZL1 owner wouldn’t want additional horsepower? K&N performance air intake 63-3079 was designed for 2012 and 2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 models with the 6.2 liter engine and when tested showed an incredible gain of an estimated 31.7 horsepower at 4300 RPM and 39.7 lb-ft of torque at 3300 RPM. 

Performance air intake system 63-3079 comes with K&N’s RP-5168 carbon fiber topped, washable and reusable high performance air filter.  The RP-5168 air filter provides a massive amount of air flow into the hungry supercharger while still providing excellent filtration to protect all of the internal components. More power and great protection is what makes K&N’s quality air intake system hard to match.  This Chevy Camaro ZL1 air intake is also backed by K&N’s famous Million Mile Limited Warranty and since horsepower is the name of the game, K&N 63-3079 air intake system is a welcome addition to any horsepower seeker’s entourage.

Features:

  • Easy installation
  • 31 horsepower an 39 ft.-lb. of torque gain
  • Carbon Fiber provides improved looks, strength and less weight.
