Quoting Pat GM did a good job on the box, how ever the box isn't the problem trying pull air from that small place its mounted is, the rotofab would win hand's down if you drive around with the hood off. Pat says you need a good 3 inches at the wide part or base of the air filter all the way around for that oval or circle cone filter to be really effective. . You loose that in all the areas.. pretty sure the competition knows that you need other areas to pull air from but that messes with styling. Pats stuff definitely isn't cosmetically pretty.. 3 factors that really help.. Shortest direct path No restrictions Coldest air.. All those items increase flow increased flow lowers the iat coming into the motof if this happens you see more power.. timing.... knock retard ect.. I kinda thought it was bs until we went out and tested all the stuff same day same temps..

No question my Dremel skills could use some improvement. It would have helped to have a larger diameter cutting disc. In some places I couldn't cut all the way through the plastic from outside the box. There wasn't always enough room to easily maneuver the Dremel inside the box.

The reason I ask is that my Roto-Fab seemed to substantially over-report airflow. That equaled less boost and rich mixture. These engines can actually get KR from being too rich. |

Yep, using a cut-off wheel like the Harbor Frieght would have been a much better choice than my Dremel 3000.

Anyway, I guess my point is that there is probably more going on here than just the intakes themselves. Simply looking at MAF data and boost can be misleading as I found out. My car trapped almost 133 mph in +1300 DA with basically just a set of headers and the Roto-Fab intake + minor tuning. So the power is definitely there. |

Hi EDFHOBBIES
Do you know when that Vararam GM box will be available for purchase? I am just starting to mod my car and want to do a stealth look. Would be happy to test it as well. Kind regards cirpower |

3 weeks or sooner. I think he will have me something this week for my 2650 103mm TB that needs a tune vs the standard non tune one.
