Any of you RotoFab guys have this issue?
Just noticed yesterday that my hood appears to be raised a tad on the front right corner, most likely due to a clearance issue with my new RotoFab CAI (LSA version). I took it back out and verified that it was installed and seated correctly so I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm going to spend a little more time on it tonight but just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem.

Is the stop holding it up or the gasket/seal? Mines not jacked.

When you say you have the LSA version, do you have the heat shield for a ZL1? That could be your issue. I think the underside of the hoods are a little different and the heat shield is formed differently because of it.

+1 I'd look into shaving some off the bottom or trying to find a little extra clearance so it'll sit flush |

I have found raising the stop on the opposite side from the intake helps because of the extra pressure from the intake seal.

RotoFab is one of the better fitting and made kits. Go back over your heat shield installation and make sure its where it needs to be.

I have twin turbos so i dont even have a filter location there. Mine isnt as severe as OP's, but its similar just on the opposite side. Maybe its just me.

Yes as can be seen in your picture the passenger side is a little low now so if you raise it up some it should help with the drivers side also.
