    Another option, pick up textured ABS sheet off amazon trace the same to match the roto box without gasket. Drop a perpendicular section to will allow it to be secured with plastic rivets. Below is an example with my spectre box. I'll do the same with my roto box once I complete the 5" system. BTW, ABS easy to work with.

    Thanks for the info. I was planning/hoping I could use ABS to fill any notches I have to cut into the RF SS airbox.

    Tracking on the intake says it should be here tomorrow, probably won't have time to play with it until saturday or sunday though.

    Well the intake showed up yesterday... After looking it over and looking at the car, I can see that this project is not for the faint of heart...

    It looks like it's going to take some serious chopping to get this thing to work.

    Sounds like it's not worth it IMO. I make a TON of N/A power with the original 102mm kit.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    I understand. I was just curious how that block and heads performed. What cam did you install?
