The new cars are very well engineered for the power they produce, so I find myself asking the question "do I really want to mess with a good thing"? Though a low 11 second street car is very fast by any standard, I find that because it does it so easy, I need it to be a little more exciting. I'm not trying to break any records, I just want to have as much fun with my toy without compromising too much of what makes these cars so great.

This weekend I plan on installing the RotoFab intake I've had sitting a box for a long time. From what I've heard, it does little power wise, but it does change the look under the hood and increases the blower whine. I have a lot of passes under my belt in the stock configuration, and have documented the weather conditions when I run. I do plan on seeing if there is anything gained or loss with this intake, hopefully before it gets too hot. In the future, I'll may be looking for mods that increase the hp without compromising the drivability. I think I would be satisfied with somewhere around 600 rwhp.

Post up your results. What matters most to me would be more mph same DA. Even in -1300 my A10 ZL1 (@1,500 miles) would barely top 126.
