The adjustability and no mod install is awesome!

Where does the new washer reservior end up? Pics?
I have an intake and your intercooler reservior now. Need another option for small washer fluid mounting.

We didn't want this product to be a "give and take" meaning get an air scoop and give up the brake duct. This is especially important for the ZL1 due to it's road race/handling capabilities.
For those who choose to use our I/C reservoir, we do need to develop a WW reservoir which mounts in a different location. We will get on it after the Big Gulp is finalized and in production. For those of you who don't intend on using our S/C intercooler reservoir, we aleady have a W/W washer reservoir relocation kit available.

Big Gulp is a registered trademark of 7-11. If you don't have permission to use it you may have their lawyers paying you a visit.

We were concerned about that as well, but thought "Big Gulp" was such a fitting name for an air intake system, we decided to pursue it anyways. We found the same mark can be registered to another provided it does not cause confusion or deception with an existing mark. We were granted a USPTO registered trademark for "Big Gulp" in the context of air intake systems for automotive engines.

Maybe call it the "Air Gulp" then.

Azzkker · 11-10-2012, 09:48 PM

love this setup! This looks like it will go along with your intake setup great.

firecross91 · 11-10-2012, 10:01 PM

Love the fact it is adjustable. Although I will be road racing and regular driving the car I know that I will hitting the drag strip and like that I can direct extra air to the intake. Don't think braking will be and issue at the strip.

To compliment our Roto Fab ZL1 Cold Air Intake system we now have the Roto Fab Cold Air Injection system to ensure that the intake is fed with outside air from the front ducting in the ZL1 splitter. The front brakes receive the normal amount of air due to our innovative aerodynamics in the Cold Air injection system. Buy one today.
But wait there's more........
just having a little fun
big gulp sounds too commercial to me

Oh BTW roto. I'm interested in rear brake ducting also. Just putting the bug in your ear. Thanks for great products. I have ordered your No Tune CAI and lower pulley. This spring will be interested in SC reservoir, catch can and ww reservoir with the big gulp.

Exactly! We were looking for a "win-win" for this application. We didn't want to take away anything from such a great all-around car.

This looks friggin awesome. Just to be clear - there shouldn't be an effect on cooling for the breaks, yes? Nice job

BLACK10 · 11-11-2012, 06:15 PM
