Thanks for the confirmation. That is exactly what I was trying to see above. You just confirmed my thoughts and now I understand why some discrepancies exist.

Without a tune as well.

I love my Rotofab! I also recommend the big gulp and windshield washer relocate tank too!

I have a 2013 ZL1 and I went with the Roto-Fab purchased over the phone through JDP. Tyler and everyone at JDP were extremely helpful. The horsepower increase is very evident and the blower whine is awesome, everyone who has ridden in the car before and after are blown away by the difference.

With the Roto-Fab ZL1 cai, you can expect gains from 20-25whp and we have seen gains as high as 33whp!!! Here are the results from one of the many tuners who tested our air intake system.

I'm a true believer in same day testing. These intakes show gains on the dyno in open hood testing, but how much do you actually gain in a real world situation. I would be interested to see how much is actually gained when the hood is closed. I have no doubt that these aftermarket intakes are better than the factory airbox, but has anyone actually done a same day test at the track...besides me

Rotofab sounds great also put on big gulp and ww relocate tank which should help with the hood down.

R2C is working great for me as well as having outstanding filtering capabilities.

Yeah, but wouldn't OP have to trade his ZL1 for an SS to make that work?
