interesting but the question is....would the rotofab intake get the same resoult on a ss? an s7 with heads cam and oher thing means a lot of air needed.. so the stock air intake would be a bottleneck
an other thing i saw is the fact that there is no power/torque showed on the graph under 3500rpm which it's almost the half of the rpm range. also it seems that the stock is a bit better below . to give a better opinion i should see the all graph. in any case thanks for the update |

I think if you look at the difference in design between the two, the Roto-Fab seals off, from the rest of the engine compartment a lot better than the Z-28 intake. Look at the picture in post #16 along the right (drivers side of the engine compartment) side of the photo and you'll notice that the Z-28 intake does not seal off against the fender wall, allowing hot air from the engine compartment to be sucked in. That is your 4 HP right there.
That said, if you think that 4 HP is making a difference, you are probably just trying to find some excuse to justify why you lost the race. Trust me, it wasn't the CAI. Aesthetically, I think it really is a matter of personal preference, I personally like the look of the Roto-Fab, but I can see where some may prefer the stock-ish look of the Z-28 Intake.

Rotofab is awesome. I had it before the Vararam and I'm not sure the Vararam is any good. Seems very similar.

I can't remember who the member was that bought a z/28 cai a few years ago for an SS. He dynoed the car before and after. I recall the Z/28 cai had gains higher then any other cai on the market at that time . It was snubbed tho because the vendors on here didn't sell it at then.

I chose the Z28 unit mainly because of the factory appearance. I am more than willing to give up 4hp in order to maintain the factory look. Just me though.
