Lets hope they find the problem before they drop the ZL1 1LE, its a M6 only car, and this may rear its ugly head in that car, that will be a big no no.

Any update from the OP?

I'd be interested to know if their data logger came up with anything of interest.

decosta was having the same issue but his dealer says they could not duplicate. He's supposedly going to demonstrate.

I did go and was able to duplicate now they say they have to drive again and contact GM on what to do.

I had to go out of town before the data logger was shipped in. I am being told they will install next week. Will update when I know something.

Roto-Fab has a loss of torque? I've seen a post with an install video but no other info.
I'm skeptical of the stock intake hose holding up and not collapsing and am considering a replacement.
Do you have a link?

someone should try to replicate this problem on a dyno. car under load and see what happens to intake tube when pulling to redline. not sure if the hood open will matter.

The hood open would matter, but you could stick a gopro in there.

Can't see the video, is it collapsing? Not an engineer, but wouldn't it be more likely to collapse with the hood closed, less air restriction or more volume?

its not fully collapsing but you can see the tube slightly getting pinched/distorted then when he gets off the throttle it returns to normal. how do i make this video watchable?

I can see it. I don't see anything out of the ordinary that would cause any problems. It's meant to flex there from engine torque.
