yet you could make more with a TB and porting. its simple, more air plus tuning (fuel) will only make more. that 723 doesnt mean much without a before, what gear, what dyno, what correction factor etc etc. you could of made 690 else where or 650 as a base run.

Just the supercharger lid thing. That little plate inside.

If you're NOT tuning it, then the regular Rotofab is the way to go, because it does not screw up the calibration. The Big Gulp version NEEDS to be tuned, because it throws off the MAF calibration with that big tube.

Yep. Here's the thread I started about cutting out the bottom of the stock air box. You do get slightly more SC whine, however, you all also get higher intake temps at idle. Now the temps come back down quickly when the car is moving but like anything else you're starting from higher temps versus a box that hasn't been cut.

In my opinion, the best bang for the buck is to remove the rain/snow blocker behind the driver's side headlight in the upper grill. This gives air a more direct path to the intake duct on the stock air box or any after market intake for that matter. This makes the car build boost a little faster and gives a little more grunt in the lower rpms.

If you daily drive your car in an area with lots of snow and rain, you might want to leave the blocker in. Mine has been off for more than two years and I haven't had any issues with water intrusion--even power washing my car.

See post #20 in this thread if you're interested in removing.

If you want to get real fancy, a company called Vellossa makes an intake snorkel to replace the rain/snow blocker. It's a little pricey and I don't think it provides any more performance than just removing the blocker.

It made 575 wheel, totally stock, at sea level (1-2% correction), on a DynoJet, in 6th gear if I recall.

And 10 days later it made 723 wheel with HPE's 850 pkg., still with stock SC and TB, at sea level (1-2% correction), on a DynoJet, in 6th gear if I recall.

I didn't add the 103mm until I added the KongX a year later.

Idk if the rotofab adds much other than sound over the stock air box. I added one a while back and on a road course saw a slight decrease in mph on some long straight sections. But there are a lot of factors at play there. Idk. I’ve thought about going back to the stock air box.

I still think that a good LT4 starter pkg. is a 10% lower, 103mm, and a tune.

Ok, and do any of the intakes make more sound than the others?
