1985-1989 Corvette Air Filter Cover Screw

Sometimes, the biggest headaches come from the smallest Corvette Parts. Previously discontinued by GM, the Corvette Air Filter Cover Screw is once again available for your 1985-1989 C4 Corvette. The threaded metal shaft with “knurled” plastic top holds the air filter cover to the housing. Two of these screws are required per Corvette.

C4 Corvette Lower Baffle

On many early model C4 Corvettes, the Air Intake Radiator Lower Baffle is often seriously damaged or in the worst cases, missing all together due to parking lot stops or curbs. Not having the radiator lower baffle can inhibit your Corvette’s cooling system from cooling the engine properly by not directing airflow through the radiator. This reproduction radiator lower air baffle, also sometimes called a radiator duct, is necessary to keep your engine at the correct operating temperature. Fits 1985-1989 Corvettes only.

C4 Corvette Valance Panel

Often the casualty of concrete parking stops or curbs, it’s not uncommon for a C4 to be missing the  Corvette Lower Valance Panel/Air Deflector. This C4 Corvette item is critical for keeping your Corvette operating at normal temperatures by helping to direct air into the radiator for efficient cooling. Fits all 1984-1989 Corvettes.

Lower Valance Panel Brace

The Corvette Lower Valance Panel/Air Deflector Brace attaches to the radiator lower air baffle in the middle to give support to the front air deflector. If your car’s brace is missing, it can raise the temperature of the engine significantly. This deflector brace is a reproduction of the 1986 and later model which was engineered to be heavier than the flimsy 1984-1985 style braces. Fits all 1984-1990 Corvettes.

Corvette Air Dam Retainer

The Corvette Lower Air Dam Center Retainer is an important part to support and strengthen the lower plastic baffle. Replacing this retainer with this new reproduction insures the air baffle is properly supported and helps to insure cool air is properly directed into your early C4 Corvette. Fits all 1984-1996 Corvettes.

Corvette Green Performance Air Filters

Green Performance Corvette Air Filters are excellent replacement air filters for Corvette owners who want to upgrade their air intake without changing the entire system. Unlike multi-layer gauze filters, which can fray and release fiber particles into your Corvette’s engine, Green performance air filters use two layers of tightly-interwoven cotton fabric. Because the fabric is so durable, Green air filters can be washed and reused over and over, which is why a lifetime guarantee comes with each filter.

Other Corvette air filters use a simple pressure molded injection process to bond the perimeter rubber to the interior components. That method saves manufacturing time, but in the process, a considerable amount of rubber can seep onto the filtering surface. This can restrict airflow as much as 25%. Green filters go through a precise four step production process that virtually eliminates all seepage and maintains maximum airflow through the filter. Other features of Green performance high flow Corvette air filters include:

• A hand molded flexible rubber base
• Air tight seals
• Custom fitment tabs
• Deeper air filter pleats which creates 20% more filtration surface
• Race proven gains and technology
• Steel mesh coating for extra strength and durability

Green air filters are available for 1966 and later C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 Corvettes. To keep the filter looking close to original, the earlier 1966-1981 Green air filters come in gray. This will allow you to run a performance air filter while not sacrificing to looks under your Corvette’s hood. For the later model C4, C5 & C6 Corvettes, Green air filters come in green. Also available to keep your Corvette’s air filter performing at its best are our Green air filter recharger kits. They come with green oil or clear oil so the look of the filter is not altered after use.

C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter

The Attack Blue air filter is an excellent alternative to aftermarket C6 Corvette Air Intake Systems because it will not void your Corvette’s warranty. Its patent pending low restrictive open design and narrow back, allows the greatest amount of air to rush through the air filter with the least amount of turbulence over any O.E. replacement filter on the market! More free flowing air results in quicker throttle response, more torque & power to your Corvette’s rear wheels. Stock Corvette air filters can clog over a short period of time, resulting in a loss of power. The cotton media used in the C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter helps keep your Corvette breathing freely. Fits C6, Z06, Grand Sport & ZR1 Corvettes.

C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter Quick Facts:

• Flows 45% more air than stock air filter
• Narrow back design helps eliminate “power robbing” turbulence
• Quicker throttle response plus an increase in torque & horsepower
• Filtrates down to 5 microns (a human hair is 50 microns!)
• Washable and reusable for extended use
• Reinforced base prevents warping and leaks
• Sturdy stainless mesh designed for high CFM.
• Direct fit in your stock GM intake
• Made in the USA!

Check out each performance Corvette Part included in our ZR1 Corvette LS9 Power Package:

Mamba Fresh Air Scoop	The Mamba Fresh Air Scoop allows the ZR1 Corvette air intake to achieve it’s full potential by ramping fresh air from the front of your ZR1 Corvette directly into the opening of the intake. The Mamba Fresh Air Scoop is mounted to your ZR1 Corvette’s radiator shroud with 3M double sided tape.
ZR1 Corvette Supercharger Upgrade Kit	The Lingenfelter ZR1 Supercharger Pulley Upgrade Kit is designed to enhance the LS9 Corvette ZR1 supercharged engine. This upgrade kit produces excellent horsepower and torque improvements over the factory 638 horsepower and 604 lbs. ft of torque while maintaining a safe level of boost and supercharger RPM.
Performance Corvette Spark Plug Wires	These Hi-Performance spark plug wires are built to Zip’s standards, built specifically for Corvettes with headers. We start out using a Delco Mag wire and then heat shield it with some of the best products the aftermarket has to offer. This will be the last set of wires you will ever have to replace from getting burned by a header or just plain wearing out. These C6 Corvette spark plug wires are the perfect compliment to the Kooks Stepped Headers also included in this LS9 power package.
ZR1 Corvette PCM Programming	To go with all of the upgrades to your LS9 Corvette engine, we will also upgrade your ZR1 Corvette’s PCM. With custom PCM programming using HP Tuners scanning and diagnostic tools we can modify just about any setting available within your ZR1 Corvette’s computer system.
Kooks ZR1 Corvette Stepped Headers	If you really want to step up your Corvette’s exhaust system then consider a set of Kooks Custom Headers from Zip Corvette. Kooks Stepped Header design, which is included in this power package melds the particular advantages of specific tube diameters: low end torque from 1 3/4″ primaries at the flange, then opening up to 2″ tubes for unrestricted top end. Built by Kooks Custom Headers, manufactured from mandrel bent 304 stainless steel with 3/8″ flanges and 3″ collectors. Stepped headers include O2 sensor bungs, gaskets and sensor extensions.
Kooks ZR1 Corvette Mid-Section	This mid-section is designed to complete installation of Zip/Kooks R-series “stepped” headers on LS9 equipped Corvettes. The mid-pipe bolts directly to the 3″ collectors and allows you to utilize the ZR1 exhaust system of your choice; in this case the ZR1 Corsa Sport. The 304 stainless steel center section includes a crossover pipe and hi-flow stainless steel converters for a completely street legal performance exhaust system.
Corsa Sport ZR1 Corvette Exhaust System	Also included in the LS9 ZR1 Corvette Power Package is the clean-sheet engineered C6 ZR1 Corvette Corsa Sport Exhaust System. Corsa’s famous sport system includes a race car like sound at full throttle yet a calm sound great for cruising speeds, military grade 321L stainless steel, and an increase in horsepower and airflow over the stock application. The quad 4″ exhaust tips finished with the Corsa logo adds the finishing touches to this near perfect Corvette exhaust.

ZR1 Corvette W/LS9 Power Package

Take a look at a couple of our before and after dyno runs of a customers ZR1 Corvette with our LS9 power package installed. As you can see in the graph the ZR1 Corvette was producing 429 rear wheel horsepower and 410 ft-lbs. of torque at 5500 rpm (red). After installation of our ZR1 Corvette Power Package the ZR1 produced 534 rear wheel horsepower and 510 ft-lbs. of torque at the same 5500 rpm (blue). That’s an improvement of over 100 horsepower and 100 ft-lbs. of torque on a stock ZR1 Corvette. Not only did this ZR1 produce greater numbers but it sounded like a pure race car with the C6 Corsa Exhaust System, Kooks Headers, and Kooks Mid Section. So if you thought adding to your ZR1 Corvette was impossible you may want to think again. Our power package will make any stock ZR1 accelerate faster and produce approximately100 more horsepower to the rear wheels.

C6 Corvette Mamba Air Intake

The Mamba Corvette Air Intake takes advantage of it’s design by squeezing as much air as possible into the throttle body without the use of a Corvette Supercharger. The Mamba’s air filter is one of the largest in the Corvette aftermarket industry and was custom designed by Zip for maximum airflow. The Mamba has shown dyno proven power improvements of 20+ rear wheel horsepower when utilized with the Mamba Fresh Air Scoop. The Mamba Air Intake is a direct bolt on for all C6 Z06 Corvettes and 2008-2009 LS3 equipped Corvettes. If used in conjunction with the fresh air scoop, PCM programing will be required on 2008-2009 LS3 equipped Corvettes due to the increased amount of air flow.

Early C6 LS2 equipped Corvette owners can retrofit the Mamba Air Intake by using our mass air flow sensor adapter harness, mass air flow sensor, and power coupler. Due to the large amount of forced air, LS2 Corvettes will also require custom PCM programming of the mass air flow table.
