Lol. Honestly for the prices they should be making OTR intakes because that's where all the gains would be made. To be honest I don't see why they haven't made one and they keep making these dumb elbow intakes still.

I never get that kind of crappy reply, in the same amount of effort it took to type that arrogant reply they could have just helped you out...whatever, guess that's the world we live in now.

It is just as bad or worse over on the Gen 5 RAM forum.

After 60k miles, I noticed my suspension starting to wallow or seesaw under hard acceleration, so I posted a question to see if anyone else had this issue. The first 2 tools to reply asked if I was in 4WD. After 60k miles of no issues, you would think I knew better than to leave it in 4-Hi. A-holes. I maybe use 4-hi 4 or 5 times a YEAR when we get snow.

People should answer the question at hand, or not say anything at all.

More about looks and sound than any kind of real performance gains which are largely subjective, or opinionated. They're all over priced by probably 75%, or more. IMHO.
I chose Roto-Fab and it's good to go in fit/finish/clean install but you can't have any expectations on actual performance gains with any of these things in spite of their dyno pulls. Only when you get in to more mods, Ethanol, headers, go with the CAI that needs a tune it might, maybe, start giving you a performance dividend but on an otherwise stock engine it's of little use, the OE intakes these days are quite good/unrestrictive.

Consider AFE?

That's all I needed to know , I've got the draggy data to show

I’m sorry but your not going to drop almost A second 60-130 from simply putting an intake on. That’s 100whp. Either your stock air box had a cat stuck in it or your dragy wasn’t accurate.

100whp 60-130? Not sure where you gathered that data from but I have data showing the times dropped on average considerably. I have no reason to lie about the results on my car, I've posted what I've done and the results, I did days of testing before and after , of course it varies some but i have the proof right here. so I'm sorry but this happened

You are stock besides the corsa intake? have you tried the roto fab. I can of find it so hard to believe for a zl1 doing 7.39?? what conditions

[WillyZ83]

I understand, when I roll race people they don't want to believe me either but I'll take it as a compliment lol

7.39 - 81 degrees DA 1795 ft -0.98 slope
7.89 - 73 degrees DA 1158 ft slight uphill slope at the end 0.42
7.83 - 63 degrees DA 485 ft -0.63 slope

the temp had just dropped on the lowest degree run so don't know if the car had time to adjust to conditions.

I had the rotofab on my ss and it did its job. Everyone on here seems like they have good results w the rotofab. I figured the difference is very small so I went with the intake with the carbon fiber duct.

Didn't you also just run a 10.88? Pretty damn fast. I'm thinking he's just got a strong one.

Yes sir, I got a Monday-Tuesday built car I think. I also broke the vehicle in like I stole it from day one. Might have something to do with it.

If ya read the context of my post i am talking about this.


2 separate days and my 60-130 dropped fastest previous was 8.2 and went to 7.3 w the corsa.


Going from an 8.2 to a 7.3 in the SAME DA, same Elevation, same slope ETC is around a 100whp gain. Your not going to get a 100whp gain from a simple intake. That's my argument. What's weird is your better DA, especially temp the car is slower. Lately i haven't trusted the dragy to much on the DA as its been way off. I know my car runs consistant 5s and just under 5s when DA falls to about 0.


Also this doesn't make sense either.


7.39 - 81 degrees DA 1795 ft -0.98 slope
7.89 - 73 degrees DA 1158 ft slight uphill slope at the end 0.42
7.83 - 63 degrees DA 485 ft -0.63 slope (This should be your faster run.)

I gotcha. I was confused myself when the car ran better in warmer conditions , I expected the car to be faster when it hit the 60s. All I can think of is that run when it was 61, it was the first time the weather hit the level in a while, the car didn’t adjust to the cooler temps yet.
