This is an inaccurate statement! The Cold Air Inductions, Inc. aftermarket systems MAF housing is not the same as GM's. The GM MAF housing is designed to comply with Federal Emissions Standards, thus it must be calibrated. Thanks!

That's precisely what I said. Your product skews the MAF reading, thus is must be calibrated accordingly. I never said that it's bad. Don't confuse information for negativity.


Also, here's an opportunity for you to promote your product by posting a stock to CAI dyno plot.

Our air intake system was designed around the stock calibration and it's within OEM requirements. After reviewing the GM system, we can determine that it was not designed for the OEM calibration. Thus the Cold Air Inductions, Inc. system does NOT require calibration but the GM system does. So, the comment that our system skews the MAF reading is false. We do not want false information stated about our aftermarket cold air intake system. Thank You.

The Roto-fab system has proven to be the best performing CAI in multiple independent tests. The following attributes absolutely set our intake apart, and will set your car apart from the rest.

-The Roto-fab CAI Does not have a major effect on AFR or Fuel trims. Our system produces great MAF data @WOT. (PRAY, Tsloper, EFI Tuning, & Jannetty approved!)

-Our air box seals effectively to both the hood and fresh incoming air duct. It is very important that the air box seals to and utilizes the entire OEM fresh air inlet.

-Maintains intake air temps very close to ambient temperature.

-Uses a huge filter with a 6" diameter outlet!!

-Gives the owner the option of retaining or removing the sound enhancing tube, and effectively seals off the remaining hole in the firewall if enhancing system is removed

-Has gained up to 14 hp on an otherwise bone stock Camaro SS (NO TUNE!!) And 39 HP on multiple supercharged Camaro's after a recalibration. However, we generally advertise the original 12 HP gain that we first saw on the dyno. Yes, there was one fluke test where we gained 6hp, but I feel that the sheets below definitely prove otherwise.


From JDP Motorsports, Bone Stock vs. Roto-fab, Stock tune


From CNC Motors, Bone stock vs. Roto-fab, Stock tune


From SCT Performance, Bone stock vs. Roto-fab, Stock tune, AFR included below.


From Abdulisraddd, supporting mods: secondary cat delete. stock tune.


From EFI Tuning, PTB+Intake+Tune vs. PTB + Intake + Tune + Roto-fab, AFR included below.


From JRE, stock intake vs. Roto-fab CAI. Supporting mods unknown.


From ADM Performance, LT4 S/C vs. LT4 S/C with Roto-fab


From Davenport Motorsports, Heartbeat S/C vs. Heartbeat S/C with Roto-fab

Thanks for your interest, and thanks also to our great Camaro6 customers. We appreciate your business and continued support!
We are all pretty sure that this thread was about the GM intake. We are surprised it took you so long. LOL
