ffvetteman 09-22-2005 11:49 AM

Any idea when this is going down? Just wondering because I was going to go to the track to run the 1/4 mi and was going to wait until the duct came in. I can wait till next year to run, I was just wondering.

We will place the order towards the start of Oct.

Keep in mind that the order might take several weeks to be filled.

Black with a red ZR-1 sticker on it?

A1990 09-24-2005 06:38 PM

I'd take a black one. If anyone is looking for a red one I have one available.

So when I inquired about a group purchase, I was told that we could get them down to $130.00 (maybe less) with enough units ordered. I am not sure about color availability at this point, but I think several of the high gloss finishes are available such as blue, black, red, green, purple, yellow and orange.

So if you are interested in ordering one, sign up in this thread.

I want one of blue color
As proceeding to make the order
Id like to see a few more pics if anyone has any

I would be interested in 2 sets of air intake hose and coolant hoses, if available.

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
I am hoping that the more orders we get in for the air duct, the lower the price will go. We are approaching 30 units so things are looking good. I still have not gotten a definitive price on the hoses yet, nor the availability of them. I've been out of town and very busy since getting back, but I expect we will be placing the order for the air ducts in the next two weeks. We should know if we can get the hose kits by then, and hopefully we will be close to 50 units by then.

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
Great news guys. :dancing

You can order the hose kits as well, and although I don't know the cost yet, it will be much better than the price you have heard floating around at $370.00.
I am even trying to work on a reduced price for those of you who want both the Air Duct, and the Hose Kits. :thumbsup:

I should have an update in two days as to all prices and color availability. I will then be taking final orders so keep checking the thread.

:cheers:

Exactly, the coolant pipe, outlet lower, outlet upper, bypass hose, inlet rear. Many people have been asking for them as well. The price that I can get will be much lower than the $370.00 that is being offered in some circles.

I hear yeah, but I don't think they are available. :( I will check into it though.

If coolant hoses are available, sign me up for a set of those in black as well as the air duct.

Thanks, =D>

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
Hi Z Factor, I would like to sign up for the complete cooling hose kit, black if possible but if not I'll take what ever we can get. I've heard that those samco type cooling hoses are worth it! :dancing

If it helps and/or is required I'll sign up for an intake hose, black. I don't need one because I made my own fake Copland Duct using a knock off I got from corvette central & some S/S duct. :o

Like I said I really, really, really want the cooling hose kit. I will take the intake hose if it helps get the rest of the guys a better price.

Thank you for doing this! :thumbsup:

Tom
Also, thank you very much for the help on my injectors Q's! :thumbsup:

You are welcome Tom.

It is not required to buy both, but when I place the order for the Air Ducts and Coolant Hoses, the more units we get will put us closer to a price point to lower the cost. I suspect it will look nice to have the duct matching the coolant hoses as well, but it is up to you.

Let me know because I think we will place the order this week.

:cheers:

Count me in for a set of hoses and an air duct, please.

Thanks

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
Hi Z Factor, Okay I'm in all the way! Put me down for both:

One (1) black air duct
One (1) set of black, or whatever we get, coolant hoses.

Ah, now for the rookie Q. My Z has the sprung steel clamps, do I re-use those on the new hoses? Is there a recommended Type of clamp to use with these hoses? I don't want to ruin these by using the wrong clamps.
Thank you Z Factor! :thumbsup:

:cheers:

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
What's the latest info on order date and pricing(given the current quantity requested)? I already have the Lingenfelter red hoses so I might be up for a red air intake duct.

Z Factor 10-10-2005 01:11 PM

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
Ok guys, here is the latest. All the colors will be available for both the Air Ducts, and the coolant hose kits. The colors are blue, black, red, green, purple, yellow and orange.

That is the good news. The bad news is that it looks like we will not reach the amount needed for any substantial price break beyond the $158.00 that I originally posted. That is actually a price break compared to their retail price of almost $180 per unit. For us to get down to the $130 range like we had hoped, we will need more orders. So I suspect that the air ducts will cost around $150-$160 unless we have more orders come in. If we were to get a decent amount of Coolant Hose kits ordered, we might reach the price point to reduce the cost of both. So at this point I think the coolant hose kits will come in at around $240-250 and I should have all the prices worked out early this week.

I want to put in the order this week, so if you know of anyone else who needs either the Air Duct, or the Coolant Hose kit have them post their requests here ASAP.

:cheers:

I missed this question.

According to Samco their Sport clip kits are designed to be used with fitted hose kits to ensure the best and safest possible fitment. However, I am pretty sure they do not make them for the LT5 coolant kit. I will double check tomorrow, but I do not see their clamps as being vital for a proper fit. If you want to replace your old clamps with new ones, they are readily available from GM. I can provide you with the part numbers if you like.

It consists of all 6 coolant hoses namely two coolant pipe hoses, one outlet lower hose, one outlet upper hose, one bypass hose, and one
inlet rear hose. This is the same kit you may have seen being offered at $370, but we should be able to get them for $240-$250.

Re: Group Purchase of a Samco Air Intake Duct
 
Thanks for your help Z Factor! :thumbsup:

The gest of this is, if I understand you correctly, I can do one of the following:

Buy new GM clamps. P/N's would be great!!
Re-use my old stock sprung steel clamps.
Buy new screw type S/S clamps with a rolled edge.
If Samco has a kit for the LT5 I can buy theirs, if I can find some one to sell it to me.

Thanks for all your effort to help me out!
:cheers:

Postal money order is okay? How do we pay for this stuff?

My pleasure Tom.

The GM part#'s are as follows;

clamp#15024902
clamp#10108249
clamp#10158012
clamp#1516233

If Samco has a kit for the LT5 (which I am checking on) we will be able to order it with our group purchase, however, I do not think they do. I should know by Wednesday.

As to payment, Paypal, cashiers check, or money orders will be fine. As soon as I get a final price, hopefully by tomorrow, I will send out emails/PM's to everyone signed up.

:cheers:

Hello Bob, and welcome to the forum. :handshak:

Are you referring to the Air Duct, the Coolant kits, or both?

Count me in for the coolant hose kit in black along with the Air Duct I requested earlier. Might as well have everything match now right??
