That's what my research indicated and why I went with the Green filter over a Rotofab at this point. I'll have to look into the ported stock TB.

I recently installed a Green filter in my ZL1. I was looking for better air flow from the stock sealed air box. I considered a Rotofab, but ultimately was more concerned with heatsoak than total...

Didn't say he was the first to do it. Just pointing out posting such videos can come back to bite one in the behind, especially when something bad happens. :thumbup:

They all could have been obeying the traffic laws when this accident happened and if someone has the accident on their PDR that certainly helps confirm how they were driving at the time. Parts fail...

I've never driven a Gen 6 Camaro with an auto, but what you are describing sounds very counterintuitive. My previous auto BMW was like OP's Infinity. Push the shifter forward to downshift and pull...

Thanks! The color is Le Mans Blue. It was a fun little car. As I said earlier, once reason I kept is so long. The turbo 1 series cars were an under rated performance bargain. Especially since...

Not disagreeing with you. Certainly the Rotofab flows air and probably alot more so with a modified car. However, I still have concerns about heatsoak with intakes that aren't completely sealed. ...

I agree. After watching the video when it first came out a couple of weeks ago I came to the same conclusion. Unless you have extensive mods, an aftermarket lid makes very little power. The stock...
