Lets talk cold air intakes. When it comes to intake kits, there are many options available on the market, and all claim to be the best. When it comes to being the "best", we take many factors into consideration. First and foremost, how is the kit's quality and fitment. Secondly, how the the kit perform and sound. Third, how much power does it make. We tested quite a few options on the LT4 platform before deciding on the Roto-Fab. The Roto-Fab cold air intake kit is made in America, and offers a ton of bang for the buck. This kit comes in at a price of $559.95. Our first impressions were that the kit was very well made, and came packaged with necessary hardware, piping, filters, etc. Assembly went together with ease, as long as you take your time not to miss any important steps such as using their specific hardware for the MAF sensor mounting. The kit provided a sleek look under the hood, and the results were even more impressive.
Kit Installation Time: 1 HR
Once we completed the install and fired the car up, we knew we made the right choice. The basic kit does not require a new tune, however their Big Gulp kit will require a tune. The sound from the supercharger was SIGNIFICANTLY louder, and you could physically hear the improved airflow movement. After the first test drive, we were sold. The car definitely picked up a significant amount power and torque for such a cost effective simple modification.
