Any difference in HP between the oiled and dry filter?
I've seen better results both ways depending on the vehicle. For example my Silverado made the most power with the stock paper filter. Also over oiling the filter can cause issues. I'd rather stay with the dry filter if the hp difference is negligible. |

In my opinion, the difference is negligible. We have seen as high as a 2 HP difference between the 2, with oiled performing slightly better.

Roto-Fab 1, in your testing, I'm curious what you guys did to dial in the AFR for the car. Different tubing sizes and filter sizes to get more air in and raise the AFR (leaner)? Can you share where they started and where you ended up? I've been curious where the Camaro was tuned AFR wise from the factory. Doesn't look like they offer that PID through OBDII like some other OEMs.

We did, however, find it important that forum members have a general idea of why we expect gains considerably higher than 12 HP! Thanks again, Michael |

CAI and Mishimoto played this game. It isn't going well for them. |

wife told me today the rotofab looks the best,and she would buy it for my upcoming birthday,i told her to wait until gains were proven,if its 2hp like sledge showed,or hp/tq loss he showed from mishi,ill stay stock idc about looks i care about performance and $420 shipped is almost halfway to a nitrous kit,the rotofab does look the best though.

the fact that roto-fab took what 8 months of design? and has been so into their claims,i honestly believe we will see gains,where as in sledges thread,cai had excuses for the negligible gains,and mishi is yet to comment,roto is so confident your basically sticking your necks out saying,hey you WILL see this gain when sledge tests,if thats the case you guys got my money.

Look forward to someone publishing some data. I do agree this CAI does look like it has potential, but I'm a skeptic. |
