There seems to quite a few mixed results with the Rotofab intake. I, for one, can say it didn't work on my car. Though my testing wasn't back to back, it was within a week. Last week I ran the car with the Rotofab and I couldn't match my stock times in similar conditions. I was afraid that something may have been wrong with the car. My best time last week in 77' da was 11.30 with a 1.70 60'. The car was dead hooking all day but just couldn't run any quicker.
I put the stock intake back on this week and took it back to the track yesterday. The da when I ran my first pass was 375'. The car laid down 2 11.18 passes with 1.70 & 1.71 60' times. The car definitely feels stronger down low with the stock airbox and seemed to pull better going through the gears. This reply isn't to knock the Rotofab, it worked well on my 5th gen. The quality and fit is great, I just think that though it's advertised as a no tune intake, I think my car needs to be tuned for the Rotofab to work the way it's supposed to. We all know just how finicky these cars are from the factory, maybe others will see gains where mine didn't.

And I think I have to agree with you for the most part on the Roto-Fab. If I hadn’t planned to mess with my tuning anyway, I probably would have removed the Roto-Fab after my initial logs and testing. I don’t think it’s worth much without tuning based on what I saw. Maybe my car is a freak? I’m not sure, but I’ve seen very similar results from other reputable guys without any skin in the game. |

It seems that GM did a great job dialing these in from the factory, there doesn't appear to be much room for improvement with the factory tune.

Interesting You also said there was throttle closure, Ted got throttle closure and so did Competition Street Performace when both were baseline dyno’d in very cold weather. Can you comment on the temp you dyno’d in and if the throttle closure was similar to theirs based off the videos they provided? At the 7:00 minute mark he shows the baseline run done in cold weather https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zPHDL7YNs5Q
