Let us know if you have any questions, our CAI requires no modifications and is 100% bolt-on with no tuning required. We would be proud to have our CAI on your ZL1, and appreciate your interest in our product!

My ZL1 is completely stock right now.

It does not require the w/w reservoir to be relocated, but it does help. The factory washer bottle is right in the path of air ingestion.

To give you an idea of how much it affects flow: when we did our testing, we made 25 WHP with the hood down and 31 HP with the hood up - both tests done with the washer bottle in place.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

No, you do not need to relocate the windshield washer fluid reservoir to install our intake system.The Roto-fab intake installs with no modifications whatsoever to your car. However, if you would like to install our Big Gulp adjustable air scoop, you will need to remove the stock WW reservoir.

What does the Big Gulp get you? More air I'm assuming? Pros and cons?

Big gulp... Nice piece. Worth relocating your W/W reservoir for IMO. It has a flap in your drivers side front brake cooling duct that directs air up into the CAI

He asked for the best CIA. Just because I am running one (JLT) doesn't make it the best. It's a bitch to tune for an auto car and I haven't gone as fast with it.

My bad. I assumed you'd be running the best

The "Best" can be very subjective.

We have tuned and worked on many Camaros with CAI brand systems and have seen no power / restriction / tuning issues. It is our opinion that if you like the product, then you can't go wrong with it.

ADM's products are always top notch......no issues. If Andy tell's you that is will get X-results, then you can take that to the bank. We have installed and used ADM CAIs on numerous builds. You can't go wrong here.

Roto-fab; This is our CAI of choice in most applications.

Build Quality and materials are top shelf.

You can accessorize. Carbon fiber look, polished stainless, different color boxes, to match your factory paint, even colored couplers are available.

Great customer service is always a huge plus ; )

We have Roto-fabs on all of our own/shop cars.
